Louise Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Dear friends I am loking a a blue glaze that would give several tinge of colors in firing. Do you have a nice recipe to share?

bciskepottery Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 My favorite blue for red/dark brown clay bodies is Bright Sky Blue (Cone 6 Oxidation). On those clay bodies, the colors run from shades of blue to white. The recipe was developed by Ron Roy and John Hesselberth and can be found in their book, Mastering Cone 6 Glazes. Miri , a potter in Puerto Rico, has done several glaze tests of variations of the Mastering Cone 6 Glazes and she has published their recipes on her blog site http://nickandmiri.wordpress.com/ You can also Google "Clayart archives" and search for blue glazes. Lots of recipes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Dear Louise, It would be helpful if you mentioned what temperature and what atmosphere you are using. More relevant information could be helpful for you if we knew these two considerations first. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Louise, Sorry I missed the ^6 reference. I got mixed up with Eric's link to Eduoard's blog which is for ^9 Reduction glazes, I believe. Here is a nice satin matt base glaze for ^6. The added colorants are for ^6 Reduction. For a stronger blue , increase the cobalt. There will be lavender tinges because of the Magnesium in the Dolomite. You could try using a blue mason stain and see what happens. Selsor’s ^6 R Semi Matt EPK 20.3 Dolomite 17.7 Neph. Syen. 33.6 Silica 15.9 Whiting 3.5 Ger, Borate 8.8 99.8 Takes colors well Blue/lavender 1% cobalt Carb Lt green 1.5% Nickel Carb 1.5% Rutile Lt. Blue gray 0 .5% cobalt carb. 2.5% rutile gray 2.5 rutile 2.5 nickel carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miri Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for the shout-out Bruce! I just mixed up 5 more tests based on Mastering cone 6 Glazes (4 blues and 1 green). Have to fire a bisque first before I get to test them out but I'll be sure to post photos here of my results. I'm liking this forum! :-) Miri My favorite blue for red/dark brown clay bodies is Bright Sky Blue (Cone 6 Oxidation). On those clay bodies, the colors run from shades of blue to white.
