AtomicAxe Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Can I ask why you're looking for a fake ash? Ash glazes are prevalent because of the low cost associated with using them (since 50% of materials is usually reclaimed from your burn pit / wood stove / whatever.) Fake ash is nice if you're trying to avoid the alkalinity of an ash if you hand glaze ... but if you don't dip while holding a piece with your hand ... Go with an ash. Val Cushing had a great ash I occasionally use in cone 6 that is easy with a soft buttery surface and the nice ash dribbles. Ash 50 gerstley 20 whiting 12 epk 8 silica 10 colorants that work well ... RIO, 3% Ochre 5% cobalt carb 1-4% copper carb 1-2% And a lot of times I will take a small dosage of a colorant in the glaze and glaze my pots, then dip the rim in a strong dose and you will get that nice dark to light runs. simple easy and fast. Just make sure you have some sort of foot (fake or real, just something to catch the glaze) ... A student used my glazes without my permission and without a foot it glazed his pieces to the kiln shelf. ... but that is something you should do with any ash glaze (fake ash, or real ash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
