Mississippi Mud Studios Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 It was bound to happen...a customer asked for a commission piece and wanted that St. John's Red glaze. Of course I have not used it in years, and now cant find the recipe...I do remember that it was a Albany Slip base. Can anyone help me with this recipe. Its probably only a "few ingredient" glaze. I have used it in gas reduction cone 9/10. It is also reliable in cone 10 wood/salt fire. Thanks, Gary Mississippi Mud Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Rick St. John was my professor, I looked through my glazes of his and couldn't find that one. If you get desperate I know someone who has his phone number and I could give him a call. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 THIS is the most comprehensive list of St. John glazes I've seen, and it's not there. Are you sure it wasn't Shaner Red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I think I went to grad school with him. Small world. I would just test some other reds and see how close they look. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 The Albany could make an iron red if there was some bone ash in the mix. The Albany supplies the iron. Mississippi Mud, was the glaze you remember an iron red or a copper red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Mud Studios Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thanks everyone, I do have the St. John's Black and love it. I believe that the red is an iron red. The reason I like it so much is due to its stability from cone 9 through 11 in both gas and wood. Some of the copper reds tend to boil a bit above cone 10. I'll check out the Shaner Red, but do distinctly remember the Albany slip and was happy that it worked so well. I do have an ample cache of Albany and wanted to use it for the glaze. Denice, if you have the time, give a call. If nothing else, you'd get to reconnect. Thanks again, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Mostert Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 This is probably not the recipe you had in mind, but it is an iron red based on Albany: http://glazy.org/recipes/5353 I haven't used it myself, so can't say what it looks like or how it behaves.

oldlady Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 gary, could it have been the recipe with only 2 ingredients, Kaki on page 9 of the list neil included? albany 65 neph sy 35? neil it is interesting that the index shows only 11 pages and all of them are for salt firings. but there are 15 pages of glaze recipes following the index. gary, is this anything like the red you are looking for? it is called Chinese red and came from Jane Cullum at Manassas clay. is is supposed to be a cone 8 glaze but this item pictured is fired to cone 6 oxidation.
