leopold Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi Everyone, I would like to make some designs for this effect. That's a new starting for me. I don't know what the real it is for that dots in the surface. Is that Red Iron Oxide? In Clay or In Glaze? I fund a video from Youtube to tell me how to mix the clay with Red Iron Oxide, but it was not very clear, not shown the whole process. The recipe from that video is 25% red iron oxide and mix with red clay of 75%, my question is how to mix them? Thanks for any kind of help.

liambesaw Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Granular magnetite, manganese or illmenite wedged into clay and fired in reduction will bleed these spots from the clay body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae Reich Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Granular Illmenite is coarse. That's what is used in some speckled glazes for that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
