sine Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi if anyone happens to have Emmanuel Cooper's glaze recipe book on a shelf in their studio- trying to look up recipes online but just will not go my way... Just looking for a reliable transparent earthenware ( 1050' celcius) glaze, the glossy the better If anyone happens to have a few minutes to spare! with thanks Sinéad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sine Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi Sputty, thanks for your reply The glaze is going over velvets but its bowls that children will be painting themselves so not really into using lead If was sculptural, decorative etc, wouldn't mind but not for functional bowls Is indeed a simple glaze recipe!

tinbucket Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I use 90 Ferro Frit 3124, 10 EPK, and 2 bentonite, fired to cone 03. Cone 04 will work too, you may be able to go even lower. If it crazes, substitute some Frit 3249 for the 3124. Be sure to test because the chemestry of the frit may not be compatible with some of the underglazes. Other than that this is a super easy and reliable lowfire clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 sine, i am in the USA and know i have seen that book in public libraries. i can try to find it here and if you will identify the glaze in some way, i would be happy to copy it or them for you. even if it is not in the st petersburg, fl library, it may be available on a loan from another library. finding it on amazon so i have the details at hand would be helpful. i will look. found a copy in clearwater, title, the potters book of glaze recipes, dated 1980, 207 pages. is this the one?

sine Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks Oldlady! thats the one 1980- an excellent and very handy book to have, even as a starting point for a certain glaze. I know there can be huge differences in materials between Usa and Europe and there are similar type materials I don't usually glaze at all in my own work, so am very out of date with the equivalents! Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
