new mastering cone 6 glaze results

updated thu 22 feb 07

 

Bert Gibson on thu 8 feb 07


Thanks Lou. The dark brown result is on a black cone 5 clay. I found it
interesting that it still broke well even though on a dark clay.

When the glaze is thinner on the speckled clay I get more
reddish/orangish coloring than tannish coloring. It has to be on very
thin for that to happen.

Bert, the bowls and mugs are great. To what do you attribute the
various looks of Nutmeg and White Satin on different pots?
Best, Lou

Bert,
What clays are you using?

Hello Bert,
I just looked at your photos. The glazes look superb, nice colors,
nice application, and nice bowls to boot.

Folks if you are working in cone 6, get a copy of Mastering Glazes at once.

Thanks for posting this web-page for us to see.

Bert, Thanks so much for sharing your results and for giving so generously to a good cause. Maybe you have already answered, but, what clay do you use? I am in Waco and use Cinco Blanco from Armadillo.

I love the speckling you got, I assume from the clay body? Also, how did you get those beautiful reds? I have tried the raspberry and got a very mottled red and white. I have used the suggested firing schedule from MC6. Are you firing differently? I have also had a lot of problems with the waterfall brown running. Any suggestions? Are you using the nutmeg with the white under or over?

I so appreciate the help.

Barbara -- my experience is that a mottled gray or white from MC6's raspberrry
is the result of very thin application. Try doing a test tile on your standard clay
with three overlapping dips, you'll likely find the heaviest application is
will be a beautifully consistent red.

Thanks Barbara. I wedge together a cone 6 claybody produced by Trinity
Ceramics here in Dallas and a cone 5 clay. I tried the Cinco Blanco but
didn't like throwing with it. I love the Cinco Rojo clay, seems much
easier to throw to me than the Blanco. Plus I like the results of a
darker clay over a white clay.

As Steve mentioned, I dipped the bowls twice to achieve that red.
Unfortunately, it seems that some of the texture is covered also. May
need to do some experimenting in this area as I haven't used the
raspberry much.

My firing schedule is similar to John's adjusted for my kiln to achieve
cone 6.

I think that the Waterfall Brown is best when it has moved on the pot.
You just don't want it to run off the pot. I try and have it thicker on
top so it has some room to move and incise a line at the bottom of the
pot to try and stop the flow from reaching the bottom of the pot and the
shelf. Other than that, lots of tests.

The nutmeg/white satin is a combination of two glazes. I am sure the
recipes are in the archives. I mixed three-forths nutmeg to one-forth
white satin.

Good Luck,
Bert Gibson

Bert, Thanks for the suggestions. I have used the nutmeg glaze a lot and have noticed the same results with thick and thin applications, but I never tried the white with it. Is that the same recipe as the CM article where the nutmeg recipe first appeared? I will try the raspberry again. You think the thickness of the application is the answer, I guess. Barb

Barbara --

In Re Raspberry and mottled red/white -- I just realized that there's
one other possibility that will do this -- if you're firing 'hot' or
have an extended hold at your maximum temp, this can happen from
fuming of the chromium. (It's tin and chrome that generate the red --
when the chrome is gone and the tin remains, you get a white remanant.)

I should have thought of that earlier. Sorry.

-- Steve S.

Chris Groat on sun 11 feb 07


Hi Bert,

I agree with you about waterfall brown. I love it when you can see
movement in a glaze. In fact, I like to use waterfall brown on porcelain.
MC6G says not too, because it will run off, but I love the extra movement,
and I haven't had to grind any shelves yet.

Also, your raspberry color is excellent! Would you mind sharing the levels
of colorant? Is it just the same as they used in the book? Mine usually
looks a bit more on the burgundy side.

Chris

Bert Gibson on mon 12 feb 07


Same levels of colorants. The Sony digital cameras have a tendency to
oversatuate the reds. While I tweak photos in photoshop, I try to keep
them true to the actual coloring on the pot. Unfortunately I didn't have
time too process the images before I had to turn in the bowls. I would
say though, that the coloring is a reddish burgandy.

Bert

The link below is a picture of what my raspberry looks like. The over-dip
is a crystalline glaze. Not much of the raspberry shows through, but you
get the idea. This picture is very close to the actual color of my
raspberry (unless your monitor is calibrated differently ;-) )
http://tinyurl.com/2ruc9o
Would more chrome make it more burgundy? I haven't done any tests with
raspberry, but I suppose if I wanted to I would keep the Tn level where it
is and just vary the levels of Cr, right? MC6G says to try Cr levels b/w
0.1 and 0.5. I'll do a line blend.

Brenda Phillips on wed 14 feb 07


Good looking cup. Is your crystalline glaze food safe? There is a
Jeannie's Purple that uses the same MC6G recipe but is more burgundy.

Hi,

Could you please tell us more about Jeannie's purple. I do not remember it
ever having been posted on Clayart. Who is Jeannie?

Thanks in advance.

Brenda Phillips on wed 14 feb 07


Hi, Veena,
I'm not sure where I saw the recipe, maybe a clay magazine, and I don't know
who 'Jeannie' is. It behaves very well just as the raspberry, but is more
burgundy. Use the same base recipe for MC6G's raspberry with slightly
different colorants.
Add:
green chrome oxide .20
tin oxide 3.75
cobalt carbonate .60

Does anyone else know who is Jeannie of "Jeannie's Purple"?

150c p/h to 1140c (302f - 2084f)
80c p/h to 1240c (176f - 2264f)
5 min. soak
cool down max. to 800c (1472f)
Hold 1 hour
Shut off kiln

Recipe:
18 Neph. Sye.
14 Frit 3134
20 Whiting
18 Ball Clay OM4
30 Silica

ADD
0.20 Chrome Oxide

Hope it helps,

Has anyone tried adding rutile to Raspberry to get more of a mottled
flow? How did it go?

The titanium in the rutile will make the chrome go baby-diaper brown.
Combined with the chrome-tin red, this yields a very disturbing shade
of puce.

My apologies to Ron Roy and John Hesselberth for having posted about
MC6G glazes online. That said, given the information I've received in
answer to my question, I'm glad to have asked...

With both apologies and thanks,

Arthur,

There is no need to apologize for posting the MC6 glazes on line. I posted
an archive listing and am happy to post any recipe in print.

We are promoting glaze education here not stifling it.

Keep posting,

is the result of very thin application. Try doing a test tile on your standard clay
with three overlapping dips, you'll likely find the heaviest application is
will be a beautifully consistent red.

Bert, Thanks so much for sharing your results and for giving so generously to a good cause. Maybe you have already answered, but, what clay do you use? I am in Waco and use Cinco Blanco from Armadillo.

I love the speckling you got, I assume from the clay body? Also, how did you get those beautiful reds? I have tried the raspberry and got a very mottled red and white.
