I made up four different whites that I thought may suit the firing range I generally fire to (1260c), and the type of stoneware clay I use.
This was the original post
Here are the test sample results after a 1250.c firing range. As you can see they are quite different with really only two that I would consider using for my work.
This is my glaze board. I use all these colours on my work, some are bought glazes and some are made from raw materials. I just keep adding to it when I find something I like to use. |
The gill's white recipe:
ReplyDelete50 felt spar
20 zinc oxide
10 whiting
10 tin oxide
Oxidised 1,250c
is it soda or potash feldspar?

ReplyDeleteLooking at your photos, if the test pieces ar arranged in the same order, it looks to me as if the Lucie Rie test is good on the raw clay. This is consistent with her practice of only single firing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
DeleteI havn't used the lucie rie glacé since these test pieces were fired as I have tried a number of firings and have found white glazes much more suitable to my work. I suppose it is really down to personal taste but I didn't like the finish of that particular glaze on my work, perhaps on something more sculptural I would prefer it.
Apologies if you are a fan of this glaze I hope you have more success with it than I did.
