Searching For A Glaze


Recommended Posts

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,

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

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.
