I am looking for a good gold lustre. I found that the Duncan 'Bright Gold' luster applied over a clear glaze was too dark - it looked more of a bronze colour. Anyone have any suggestions for a bright true gold colour? Thanks

Marcia, could you point me in the direction of Linda's handouts. Thanks

Does this mean most of you think that the warping issues have more to do with my methods than my firing schedule being above the clays intended cone? Jim - have any porcelain recommendations for cone 7? The only ones that I could find were cone 5-6 and cone 8-10 - clay makers don't seem to be able to count well, because they completely forgot about 7 /> Thank you to everyone for your help I'd recommend staying with Frost 5 for cone 7. Try what Chris and others suggested. Frost is so beautiful that it is worth the effort to make it work. It is at its best at 6 1/2 to 7. Test first because it may be a little high for what you make and, unfortunately, some batches of Frost aren't as good as others. Several years ago I tested a lot of cone 6 and cone 10 porcelains but decided that Frost 5 for cone 6 and Southern Ice and Frost 10 for cone 11-12 woodfire were the best and have forgotten most of the others. I rememeber Mile Hi's (in Denver) Aspen was a runner up. One that I didn't test but looks good in the 7th post to the following thread http://ceramicartsda...__fromsearch__1 is Tacoma Clay Arts NZ6. BTW, I visited your profile gallery which led me to your Etsy site. You're tiles are wonderful! Jim That's so kind Jim, you just made my day!!
