[Oxide washes on top of glazes! Oh my!]

A plethora of oxide wash recipes from June Perry here. She fires cone 10 but changing the feldspar to either gerstley borate or a boron frit like 3134 would be a place to start testing them at cone 6. I wouldn't recommend any of the ones using barium.

@Missy, I've use 30 Red Iron Oxide + 30 Blackbird  (an iron plus manganese clay) + 30 Alberta Slip + 10 Rutile at cone 6 for a similar colour as in your image.

Oh thank you!!  This was exactly what I was looking for!

@Missy just as a heads up, zinc oxide is used as a flux. The other oxides you’ve listed are colourants. 

Awesome!  I got many pounds of Zinc oxide and was going to try it as a wash.     Thanks for the heads up.  Saving me from myself can be a full time job!

So I really enjoy using washes and have seen lots of videos referring to them.  I also watched the YouTube videos at the top of the post but still have questions. If anyone could point me to recipes for these washes, I’d be grateful.  I have Zinc Oxide, Cobalt, red iron,  and chrome in dry form that I inherited.  How can I turn these into a wash that might be similar to what a company like Mayco  calls a Stoneware Wash?  I searched this site’s recipes but maybe I’m calling it the wrong thing? I’ve attached a photo of a bowl that I used Mayco SW301 Iron Wash on the exterior.  I’m hoping I can make it myself.

 

TIA,

Missy
