Speaking of Tenmoku....
I have finally found a combination of iron saturate glaze that attracts
local customers, not just potters. You know how difficult it can be to get
the un-initiated interested in brown/black pots...

I've been putting my copper red glaze over a tenmoku base glaze, and the
result is quite beautiful -- a nice dark leopard-spot red over the nearly
black temmoku background. I just finished a dinner set in this glaze
combination, and pretty much every piece picked up that 'zippity doo dah'.
lucky customer! :-)

Anyhow, I've put some pictures of this on my Yahoo photo site in case anyone
is interested in Temmoku-Red as a glaze combination:

The plates and large platter have a wide, sprayed band of copper red over
the temmoku, while the soup bowls have random splashes of red over the
temmoku, only on the inside. Other pieces get a rim/shoulder dip in the red.

Ah ha! I need to look at my photos again!
There were so many beautiful bowls on those tables!
The detail shots are great! I love glazes that do that.

Dan,

I've been using that same combination. Check out my platter on by Gallery 3
page:

_http://www.angelfire.com/art2/shambhalapottery/gallerypage3.html_
(http://www.angelfire.com/art2/shambhalapottery/gallerypage3.html)

It on the second row from the bottom, far left.

I first saw this in a beautiful Craig Martell pot. The secret for anyone
wanting to try the copper red over temmoku is to apply the red pretty thickly.
Then you'll get that lovely, rich, broken affect with good color.

Thanks for posting the pics. Very nice pots! It looks great on the dinner
ware.

Regards,
June Perry

Very Nice, Dan!
I don't recall seeing any of those at Mendocino.... ;-)

Do you have any super close-up shots of the effect?

June Perry is absolutely right. Definitely get the red on thickly over t=
he
temmoku for good effect.

To answer John Rodgers' question: Both are ^10 reduction glazes. I use
Anderson Ranch's iron saturate glaze (see below from CM Nov 1997), simila=
r
to lots of Temmoku recipes out there. The red is from an older edition o=
f
Chappell's book of clay and glazes (CRG-32) subbing strontium for the
barium. I would think that any decent copper red recipe would work --
firing schedule is more important than formula here.

Anderson Ranch Iron-Saturated Glaze
(Ceramics Monthly Nov 1997, Paul McCoy, p66)

Whiting =96 17%
Custer =96 46%
EPK =96 11%
Flint =96 26%
Add
RIO =96 9%

Dark Copper Red (Chappell CRG-32)
Custer - 42.5
Flint - 25.0
Gerstley - 17.5
Barium Carb 17.5 (sub Strontium Carb at 13.125)

Red Iron 0.5

Dan,

Those are beautiful! I think that you created a really striking color with
your combination. The pieces are just gorgeous.

Indeed, I brought a temm-red bowl for the Mendocino exchange, for which I
received a beautiful teabowl by Karen Terpstra. (lucky me!)
