Denice Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I am looking for pink and purple cone 6 glazes. Any help would be appreciated. I see that Andy got you a purple recipe, adding cobalt to a glaze with talc can produce a lavender to purple. 2- 4% Manganese dioxide in a glaze with custer spar and Gerstley Borate will produce a mauve to brownish mauve. The only idea I had on pink is testing some stains, the Matt B glaze in the 10 Tried and True Cone 6 Glaze Recipes looks like a good glaze to start with since stains are being used with it. Happy testing. Denice (Wichita, KS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SShirley Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Here's one of each: Purple Icing Matte: Cone 6, ox (Nice girlie purple color, not great surface. I tried putting clear gloss over it, but it turned blue.) Gerstley Borate 6.2 Lithium Carb 2 Magnesium Carb 6.1 Strontium Carb 12.6 Whiting 12.1 Neph Sy 21 Flint 40 100 Add: Tin Oxide 3 Cobalt Carb 1 Rutile 3.6 Bentonite 2 Icing Pink Semi-Gloss: Cone 6, ox (Nice pastel pink, nice surface but shivered off one clay and not the other, so test it on your clay.) Neph Sy 24 Whiting 12 Lithium Carb 11 Gerstley Borate 7 Barium 2 (or sub: 1.5% Strontium for 2% Barium) Magnesium Carb 3 Silica 42 (adds up to 101) Add: Tin 3 Rutile 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Clyburn Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I am looking for pink and purple cone 6 glazes. Any help would be appreciated. Take a look at this article: http://www.brackers.com/special_pages/rare_earth_elements.cfm It covers using lanthanides as colorants. It includes base glazes for cones 8-9 ox, cones 5-6 ox and cones 9-11 celadon type glazes as well as the suggested proportions for each oxide. This includes a nice pink using 8% erbium and a lavender 5.5% neodymium oxide with 1% 6 Tile Kaolin. I played with these when Ceramics Monthly featured an article about them in the early 2000s and you can get some very interesting and unique effects. Erbium oxide is roughly $15 per 1/4 lb and Neodymium is roughly $10 per 1/4 Most of than lanthanides can be found at Laguna distributors and I thought there was another company US Chemical or something like that (I haven't had a set up to mix my own glazes in about 5 years) that sold them, but I can't seem to remember the exact name of the company anymore, sorry.
