Potter3ee Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi there I am looking for a pink glaze recipe that fires at cone 5-6 and stays bright. So far everything ive seen on the market fades at that cone temperature. And the recipes I found online are not quite bright. I know using chrome tin makes a glaze pink. Also Nepheline Syenite. Anyone has a recipe to achieve the attached color at high fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 look for recipes called "candy apple" or crimson. that color is probably not what anyone would call pink, the color of a baby blanket. and cone 6 is not really high fire so you might try looking under cone 6 in the books on glaze recipes.

Min Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 For ^5-6 I would be testing out chrome/tin glazes like the one Joel posted. Don’t have the safety concerns like you would using a cadmium inclusion stain. Add some zircopax to make it opaque if that’s what you are looking for. Base has to have a high amount of calcium to develop the pink colour. Article explaining the base recipe needed here with another recipe at the bottom of the article. These test glazes are from Promethian Pottery (ps, high fire is around the ^10 range, midrange is around the ^6 range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 ?? Mason stains 6001 and 6003 (Crimson and Alpine Rose) both hold up at cone 6. I believe they are Chrome/tin based. Unless you're firing in reduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High fire seems to have different meanings each side of the pond. I've always been used to high fire as being ^6. Until I joined this forum, I thought anything hotter was always associated with reduction/wood/salt/soda firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinbucket Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Also know that chrome can fume in the kiln, creating local color changes to nearby pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
