Darcy Kane Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Main Ingredients: Ferro Frit 3195: 70.00 Grams EPK Kaolin: 8.00 Grams Wollastonite: 10.00 Grams Silica 200 Mesh: 12.00 Grams Total: 100.00 Grams Add: Epsom Salt: 0.25 % Bentonite (325 Mesh): 2.00 % Copper Carbonate: 0.10 % Mason Stain # 6201 Celadon: 0.50 % I thought that before I mixed up a batch of this I would see if anyone else had ever given it a try. I am just switching from ^10 to ^6 and am not looking forward to the trial and error phase again. What am I looking for here, some input from anyone that may have tried this formula or one close to it. Did it stay where you put it? How did you apply it? and what clay body did you try it over? BTW yes, I am also nudging around with ^6 clay bodies and trying to enjoy the journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy Kane Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well please excuse the sloppy way the formula pasted in but I think you can read between the lines to see what it is, if not I will reformat and repost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Stuart Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ferro Frit 3195 is a complete glaze at Cone 6. Being ground glass it needs to be mixed with a gel or clay to adhere to bisque. The 10% Kaolin supplies this suspension and hardening, while the Wollastonite and Silica complete the Kaolin as a glaze. These materials are refractory and will participate in a glaze at cone 6 only because the Ferro Frit 3195 will already be quite liquid. Without these refractory materials3195 by itself will be far too liquid. The Mason stain and copper carbonate color the mix to someone's idea of what Celadon should look like.

neilestrick Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 No reason it shouldn't work. Not sure that the 0.10% copper is doing much, though. If it's a base you like you can always try other stains to get the green you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
