Kaolin / Nephyline Syenite 50/50 Glaze?

Hi there,

 

I read recently somewhere about a simple glaze recipe consisting of 50/50 Kaolin and Nephyline Syenite.

 

Trouble is that I cannot remember where I think I read this, and would like confirmation that this is an actual glaze recipe, and that it can be used on Feeney's Buff Raku Trachyte clay, and fired at cone 9 in oxidation atmosphere.

 

Have tried to look into it but have had no luck.

 

Any help you could give me would be really appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Ella

I think that is a hypothetical definition of a glaze without specifying temperature, texture, COE , atmosphere.

Tweeking glazes to get what you want is much more complex. The ratio between to Radicals determines the texture, and the firing temperature.

The radicals in old terminology are

RO = Fluxes

R2O3 =Stiffeners

RO2= Glass makers

This is the initial approach to glaze calculation using unity formulas.
