Stewart Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I fire cone 10 reduction and have just ordered some Amaco Oxide Washes. I use Shinos, ash, and a lot of iron based glazes, never have used oxide washes before and was looking for tips or a direction to follow. Thanks, Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke•Millecchia Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 When wood firing, I commonly choose to use shino with a red iron oxide wash and/or black underglaze (yes, underglaze works on top, too). I always apply the washes after I've glazed it. Make sure the washes are the consistency of skim milk before applying. It's okay to water them down. Good luck!

mregecko Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Definitely water the Amaco stoneware washes down before applying. They're very dense. I have some examples of work, but it's all at ^6 ox, so probably wouldn't be too much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke•Millecchia Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm on it! The first image has a background layer of RIO with a layer of Amaco black underglaze over it. The second image has a swirl of RIO arond the silhouette of Shino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If when I stir, It seems too thick or dark, I add more water. I strive for the consistency of skim milk. I use a lot of RIO, so it really depends on the piece.
