looking for yellow glaze

updated wed 7 dec 05

 

William & Susan Schran User on tue 6 dec 05


I'm in the beginning stages of my search for a yellow glaze to fire at ^6
reduction. Testing will be my task during my semester break from school.

I will be looking for a stable semi-matt functional surface. An opaque glaze
with some variation in the color. I want to avoid any of the more dangerous
materials, such as barium. I'd also like to source the color from rutile or
iron, rather than a yellow glaze stain.

I have about 1/2 dozen recipes so far to test and I will also be altering
some ^10 reduction yellows, probably subbing a frit for some of the
feldspar.

If anyone has any suggestions or recipes they use and would care to share,
I'd appreciate the input.

Here is a glaze that I am about to test. Can't do it till after mid-January
though so I thought maybe you would like to give it a go. It is Matt Yellow
from "Glazes in the Classroom" by Sumi Von Dassow, PMI, Vol. 1, No. 1, p.
37. It was taken off the internet:
^6 oxidation
15.79 Strontium Carb
10.53 Whiting
10.53 Whiting
52.62 Zinc Oxide
10.53 Tennessee Ball Clay
Add:
3.0 Rutile
1.5 Nickel Oxide
From Potter's Book of Glaze Recipes by Emmanuel Cooper
Please keep me posted if you do test this. I will test when I get back and
let you know what I get.
Dolita

Bill,
I have some absolutely lucious yellow glazes (pleural) in The Glaze Book by Michael Bailey. I'm sure you're familiar with it, but in case you are not, I will be glad to email you some of the recipes according to your desired surface. The recipes are either reduction or oxidation, on various kinds of clay and temp. indicated with each recipe. Hope that is useful p- I'll be glad to send you specific things if you wish.
