My first glaze test
My first attempt at mixing a glaze recipe from raw materials. I really love the images on the Blog Ceramique site and optimistically chose one of their Triaxial blends for my first glaze test. The base glaze recipe from Blog Ceramique is:
31 Kona F4
26 Gerstley Borate
6 Calcium carbonate
4 Dolomite
25 Silica
8 EPK
2 Bentonite
My translation substituted with Australian ingredients was this:
31 Soda Feldspar
26 Frit 3134
6 Calcium carbonate
4 Dolomite
25 Silica
8 Eckalite
2 Bentonite
Mixed dry and then water added. Divided into three pots of 66.6ml each.
The triaxial with three corners as follows starting from the apex:
A 10% Tin Oxide (100 x 10 x 33.3/100) added 3.33g
B 7% Copper Carbonate (100 x 7 x 33.3/100) added 2.33g
C 2% Cobalt Carbonate, 10% (100 x 10 x 33.3/100) added 0.66g
10% Rutile flour (100 x 10 x 33.3/100) added 3.33g
