Falls Creek Shino

Recommended Posts

Since I'm double dipping, should I thin glaze or just put on thicker coat. I first pour glaze into cup, the pour out and dip. So the interior and lip often get a slightly thicker coating . In this case still little to no rust.

 

Yes I like the japanese technique of dipping and leaving finger marks. And many who have drank from my cups are warming to idea also. I like to see and feel the clay. It s part of the whole and feel like some is lost covered by glaze.

 

I'm not a big fan of waxing

 

I'll try thicker application today,

I know the falls creek shino really, really well. It's one of the favorite glazes my studio works with, and I've used it myself hundreds of times. It's the clay body that (mainly) causes the color change. It's always creamy/oatmeally on white clays. On anything darker, it's great. The first picture is using a really dark clay (Standard's 266), the second is using a porcelain with a dark slip decoration, and the last is Standard's Hazelnut clay (312, I think) with a green glaze over the top. All the pieces have the same thickness of glaze. On the darker clays, a thicker application can lighten up the glaze, but it always is creamy on the white clays no matter how thin of a coat you apply.

 

Hope this helped some,

Deborah

Beautiful examples. Thanks for the pictures and informative post!

From you and other posts it seems thin application is in.

 

I'm at approx 1.4 on hydrometer reading

 

Pic # 2. Is that a dark slip decoration ( horizontal lines), applied while leather hard, bisqued then fcs glazed? What is dark slip formula formula? I have a slip that is clay body slip (helios) with black mason and a clay body slip with manganese I will experiment with......

 

#3 I'm assuming there is a lot of texture in piece.? Secondly it appears to play well with other glazes?

 

#1. I love 266. But all the health warning posts make me afraid to buy more of it. :(

#2: Exactly. I'm pretty sure it's 266 in slip form but I may be forgetting the exact clay

 

#3 It loves texture! It breaks on anything (lettering, throwing lines) but it sometimes has to be more of a severe texture like the mug to get it to break with two glazes, depending on the combination (test!). And yes, it plays well with almost all of our glazes except for the really funky ones that don't like to play well with others.

 

#1 I only use 266 on rare occasions. I don't worry much about it wet but am super cautious doing anything that might create dust with it.

I haven't any pics here but I get a great warm toast colour on a white clay body and a thin dipped application, I'll hunt for a pic.

Not imperative to use a Mn. containing body.

What is your rewcipe for this shino?

Good studio practices and an AWARENESS of the potential issue will go a long way to mitigating the potential hazards. If you are careful with it, shouldn't be a big issue unless you are going thru tons of it.

 

A huge portion of the H+S issues in the ceramics (and other art media) field come from a lack of awareness that there IS any issue. Somehow a lot of people just asssume that because they are ART materials... they must be safe.

 

The first step is education. It is what you DON'T know that usually bites you in the butt. ;)

 

best,

266 slip under fcs (BIG thanks to Deborah), the others just fcs with different thickness. Unless there is texture or dark clay under glaze. Thinne application is better. I just thinned the bucket of glaze.

1. thick application

2. Thin then dipped again for thick drool

3. Just there for me

4.  just there for me

Haven't tried with slip underneath, does pool nicely in texture.

NIce colors Babs. 

 

Biglou I really like the thinner applications on this round of your glaze.  I t would look great over deeply textured ware.
