Biglou13 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 What' s you favorite shino (woodfired)? Recipe? Why? What kind of clay? Pictures? Ok it's kinda like asking who' s your favorite super model........they are all sexy and amazingly beautiful. Part of me says throw a dart any of the "usual suspects". Because so much depends on atmosphere, reduction, cooling, clay, how I held my mouth while throwing....and which direction wheel is was spinning.

john@thepottery.plus.com Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I don't wood fire. But I too am fascinated by the subtleties that shino glazes/process provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biglou13 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 most shino recipes call for sodium spar, i have on hand potassh spar (custer) i have some basic knowledge on the differences eg custer less fusable but in a 3 day firing im hypothesising it wont make to big a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I used to use Gustin Shino in the wood kiln a lot. Always worked well. Many shinos can be used in tumbles stacking, since they are so stiff. I used to tumble the Gustin right next to high copper glazes, and the shino would take in the copper and blush pink, purple and turquoise. Fun stuff.

timbo_heff Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I use something also called Gustin Shino: not sure if Chris actually had anything to do with it. I'll dig up the formula for you . PS Helmer is a kaolin, not a spar. Maybs you meant Custer (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for potash spar recipe. After more research the traditional feldspar in shino is sodium not potash. Nonetheless I d be glad to see your formula.
