Glazes

[whitehart_designs]

This past ceramic class session has been spent working on glaze formulas for our cone 10 reduction firing.
This is what I have been working on;
Reitz purple
Turquoise matt
Vanadium yellow green matt
Reitz blue
I still have yet to make the Amber Celedon and a Yellow Shino.
I don't seem to have time to make any small items to test my glazes on .All I have right noe are the porcelain tiles i made last session.
I can share the recipes If any ones interested.

I'm always interested in glaze recipes! Post photos when you get the tests back.

Will they let you do it as a single fire? Make some small pinch pot bowls, dry them to bone-dry, then put the glaze only on the inside. I've done loads of single fire glaze work, you just have to be careful handling the loading, but if you make the pots on the thick side...

When my husband comes back from Germany next week, I will ask him to photograph the test tiles I've made.
As for the single fire technique,I haven't tried it yet. They have a tendency to start the gas kiln off full bore, so things might explode. I will go with ththe pinch pot suggestion, I can knock some out in a hurry.
