Natania Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Anyone know of a good one? I have tried several tests of recipes I've found online mostly, but they are still a bit too glossy for me. Would love to find a good, reliable soft matte white recipe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 from george and nancy wettlaufer's book "getting into pots" page 127 CLEAR MATTE C6W.....(w for wollastonite) Cone 6 Kona soda spar.......................33 ball clay (C&C is very white).....25 zinc oxide...............................12 wollastonite............................30 the recipe does not call for bentonite but i bet one of our glaze gurus will know if it would help. i think i used 2% when i made this glaze last year. it really is a clear, smooth, matte glaze. because of the zinc oxide i do not use it over green slips or underglazes. they will turn grey.

oldlady Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 this one is also a great CLEAR glaze but you may have trouble getting Cornwall stone. it also changes green to grey. SATIN MATTE Cone 6 dolomite...............20 cornwall stone......60 EPK....................20 for those of you not in the usa, EPK is Edgar Plastic Kaolin. see posts re this stuff...

oldlady Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 there is a recipe for varigated slate blue in the book Mastering cone 6 glazes. it is a very nice WHITE matte glaze with the Zircopax and rutile. leaving out the additives may make a good clear. VARIGATED BASE GLAZE Cone 6 wollastonite........................29 nepheline syenite.................4 frit 3195..............................20 EPK...................................30 silica...................................17 ..........................................100 add rutile................................5% zircopax...........................8% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 kathy triplett's book contains this recipe. i have made it and like it a lot. Kathy's Stony Matte Cone 6 clear dolomite............................3 wollastonite......................22 nepheline syenite..............43 Kaolin...............................22 I do not own this book and only copied out this much so i do not have any description of what kaolin to use. i used EPK. have fun with these. DARN! i just re read the original question and see that it is not for a clear but a white.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
