Hey Barb,

Jeannie's Purple is in the Clay Times January/February 2005 page 55.
It is in fact credited to Ron and John's Raspberry but with color
variations:


Jeannie's Purple cone 6

Nepheline Syenite 18.00
Ferro 3134 14.00
Whiting 20.00
Kentucky Ball Clay 18.00
Silica 30.00


Chrome Oxide 0.20
Tin Oxide 3.75
Cobalt Carbonate 0.60


Hope it helps,

Well, I did it again. My lack of organization is driving me crazy. I am experimenting with cone 6 glaze recipe called Jeanie's Purple, and now I can't find the recipe. It has a blue background with purple on top. I liked it pretty well and have tried it in combination with other glazes I have and now I can't find it. I tried the archives, but was unsuccessful. I thought I got the recipe from the list.

Anyone remember it?? Thanks, Barb Francis

Hi Alisa:

I didn't mean to suggest that a line blend is trial-and-error. I should
have crafted my sentence more clearly. I see a huge gulf between applying
a scientific method -- such as a line blend procedure -- to a given
formula, and actually understanding the dynamics behind the results
produced. What I was trying to say was more like "...to anyone interested
in learning more about what is actually happening in the glaze firing than
can be learned in a line blend -- or, for that matter, some trial-and-
error approach..."

Apologies for the misunderstanding. By the way, thanks for your
incredible committment to testing and sharing glaze information. It
didn't take long to see the quality of your posts, and to glean much very
good information from them. Several of my tests have included glazes you
reported positively on.

Maybe you already have the "universal format" figured out?...

Regards from the Deep South, USA.

Dear Barb,
I do not have my glaze notes with me, but I am almost certain that
Jeannie's Purple was listed in Clay Times between 2005-06.
When I tested it, I did not list the recipe because John and Ron asked us
not to publish their book's recipe over the net.

Jeannie's Purple is John and Ron's Raspberry with an extra amount of
Cobalt added to the recipe's original percent of Tin and Chrome. Clay
Times did not note this. If I remember correctly.

Best regards, Alisa

Hi Barb,

Alisa is correct. It is the Raspberry base from Mastering Cone 6
Glazes with different colorants. My notes say 0.2 Chromium Oxide,
3.8% tin oxide (Raspberry has 7.5) and 0.6% cobalt carbonate. The
recipe was published in Jan/Feb 2005 issue of Clay Times so you can
confirm the amounts by looking in that issue.

Regards,

John

Thanks so much for the reply. I'm sure I must have found if in the clay times article.
For those who like blue and purple, you might try it. I have really liked my test.

Is it hard to make your own glazes?
I hand build and use molds but would like to have some
of the wonderful glazes I see in the work you guys and
gals put out.....

If you can follow directions on a cake mix
box, you can make a glaze. The tricky part, as
with baking, is making a GOOD glaze. You can
try lots of recipes, looking for one that fits
your clay body and the effect you want, or
you can start with just a few that are close
and tweak them until they suit you better.
The tweaking, as with modifying a recipe,
benefits from knowledge of what each ingredient
does in the mix, and how best to cook that
particular combination for the desired outcome.
But, just mixing up a recipe is great start.

Basically, commercially manufactured glazes
are no different from recipes: not necessarily
a good fit for your particular clay, and not
always quite what you want. In that respect,
those commercial glazes are not really better
than homemade, they're just more convenient.
And they do have this drawback: since you don't
know what's in them, it's tough to do even simple
modifications. (And they're a lot more expensive.)

Commercial glazes are really handy, though, and
if I need just six square inches of bright red
on one piece, with no plans to use that color
again, I'd rather try a commercial glaze than
start from scratch. Artistic originality is not
solely imbedded in how the materials are made.
But, if you want more control over your options,
and a special look of your own, it may be
worthwhile to buy small amounts of the most
common glaze materials, find a few recipes to
start with, read a book on the basics of glaze,
and experiment with modifications.

Disclaimer: I can't cook for *%@^#, so all
food-based analogies should be taken with a
grain of salt (so to speak). Ain't no potter,
neither.
