Hi, thanks everyone.

In answer to your questions:

1. Firing to 1240

2. Oxidation in electric kiln

3. G72150 multi-purpose stoneware transparent glaze, firing range 1200 - 1290

4a. I first used Mason Peacock 6266 at 8% (with the china clay/ ball clay slip - oh, also with a little feldspar potash, recommended by the supplier)

This resulted in a very dark blue - could I rectify this by just diluting it with more of the ball/china/little bit of potash clay slip?

  4b.   Then I used Mason Deep Turquoise 6315 at 8% (with the more complicated slip)

I was advised to add the feldspar potash and the silica by the supplier that I bought the stains from, but it resulted in a very washed out anaemic blue instead of the deep turquoise.

I imagine I should just forget about the complicated slip?

Am I still ok using the ball clay/china clay/little bit of potash  slip with the stoneware (I have mixed up quite a bit)?

Would there be any difference between using this and a slip made from the white stoneware clay?

I'm after a pure colour, as shown on the Mason stains chart.

Thanks again!
