Thanks for the glaze recipes Larry. I'm a big fan of orange (since my days at Clemson) and look forward to trying the glaze on my October firing. A winter ceramics workshop in the Florida panhandle? I'll give that some serious thought - shouldn't be too hard to convince my wife! Take care...Crawford
Larry - Thanks for the compliments on "Heathbar Crunch". I found the recipe in a book I picked up in London. It is "The Glaze Book: A Visual Catalogue of Decorative Ceramic Glazes" by Stephen Murfitt. The book has some outstanding glazes. The recipe for what I call "Heathbar Crunch" is as follows: potash feldspar - 33.0; talc - 21.0; quartz - 16.0; china clay - 15.0; whiting - 12.0; zinc oxide - 3.0; vanadium pentoxide - 6.0; titanium dioxide - 5.0. It's identified for domestic and decorative use and recommended for porcelain and stoneware. They list the firing range as 2264 - 2336 F. All of my pieces, including this one, are fired in a wood kiln.
Hi Larry, the recipe is Piepenburg Patina and the process can be achieved by a post fire reduction without the combustable touching the pot. Fire in oxidation, pull the pot out at 1800 degrees and put in reduction container, seal tightly and do not open till cool around 20 min, then quench in water.
