Host Bill van Gilder shares a few recipes for creating his favorite pottery glazes. These glaze recipes will work for cone 6 to cone 8 firings. Sieve each batch twice through an 80-mesh screen. A 10,000-gram dry weight batch will fill a five-gallon bucket when added to water.
Amber
A glossy semi-transparent glaze. Root beer color on brown clays; yellow amber on white clays. Good when applied over white slip.
Custer feldspar 2849 grams
Whiting 2415
Edgar’s Plastic Kaolin 711
Silica (325 mesh) 3439
Red iron oxide 1097
Rutile Green
A glossy opaque glaze. Best if applied thin. All-over light green if applied thick. Ron Roy base glaze recipe with oxide additions. Good when applied over or under Teal Blue glaze.
(All measurements are in grams.)
Custer feldspar 2200
Whiting 400
Talc 500
Ferro Frit (#3134) 2600
Edgar’s Plastic Kaolin 1700
Silica (325 mesh) 2600
Bentonite 100
Rutile (powdered) 600
Copper carbonate 400
Oribe Green
A pale to deep grass green, glossy glaze. Best when applied on white or light tone clay bodies. Good when applied over white slip. Cone 6 to cone 10.
(All measurements are in grams.)
Custer feldspar 3200
Whiting 2400
Silica (325 mesh) 2400
Kaolin (Tile #6) 1200
Zinc oxide 800

Wollastonite 2000
Silica (325 mesh) 2000
Cobalt carbonate 100

note = |I substitute Cobalt Carb 2.0. I noticed that the Floating Blue has
note = |popped up again. It is a glaze I'm familiar with since I've been
note = |using it for about 3 years. What caught my eye, was the description
note = |of it as slate blue, which doesn't fit my results. So, I picked up
note = |the original recipe, and it differs from the one Sharon posted. If
note = |you're interested, you might try this version in your tests. It is
note = |called Floating Blue...from James Chappell's book, Clay and Glazes.
note = |This glaze produces a deep blue-brown background of great depth with
note = |lighter mottled blues that seem to float on the surface of the
note = |background glaze. The glaze has more of the lighter mottled blues
note = |where the application is thickest. Watch thickness near the bottom of
note = |the pot. The C.M.C. measurement refers to a premixed CMC and water
note = |solution. For the Silica, I use 325 mesh Flint. The rutile, is just
note = |powdered rutile from the ceramics supply. It fires best on the light
note = |side of cone 6 (standard cone just bending), seems to get greener and
note = |more fluid the higher you go. Cone 5 works well, too. I do not find a
note = |need for bentonite. The book says to weigh the ingredients very
note = |carefully, use distilled water or water that is known to have a low
note = |mineral content. Mix then add the CMC solution. Sieve two or three
note = |times through a 60 to 80 mesh sieve to thoroughly disperse the
note = |cobalt, iron, and rutile. The book warns that the glaze is fickle,
note = |and recommends against firing this glaze in the same kiln with glazes
note = |that contain copper, chrome, nickel or manganese. Mineral content of
note = |the water is an important factor. I have noticed an adverse effect as
note = |the author noted, and now fire an entire kiln load of this glaze. The
note = |glaze should be stirred occasionally during application because the
note = |iron has a tendency to settle. Chappell's Suggested variations:
note = |Stipple on additional glaze with brush or apply with sponge for an
note = |even more mottled effect. Or: lightly sponge a thin wash of 3 grams
note = |of chrome oxide to 100 grams of water plus a tablespoon of CMC over
note = |the top to produce a floating blue glaze with subtle green tints. Or:
note = |Over the glaze, sponge lightly with a rutile wash consisting of 2
note = |grams rutile per 100g of water for a floating blue glaze with
note = |slightly tan crystalline tints on the surface. submitted by: Candice

note = |
note = |*Where did this recipe come from?

note = |*What do you like most about this glaze?

note = |
note = |*Is this glaze reliable?
note = | Yes, very.
note = |
note = |*Does this glaze tend to craze/crawl/pinhole/etc.?
note = | We have had some crawling when it is applied thickly or overlapped
note = |heavily with other glazes. Controlling the thickness is essential.
note = |
note = |*How do different firing temperatures/atmospheres affect the glaze?
note = | It seems to stand up well to temperature variations. When it is
note = |hotter it will tend to go more translucent.
note = |
note = |*How does the glaze behave on different clay bodies?
note = | The color is pretty powerful. Over a stoneware body in reduction it
note = |will go a bit darker, and it will be brighter and bluer over a white
note = |body.
note = |
note = |*What consistency should the glaze be for pouring/dipping?
note = | A cream consistency, so that you can see the cutile of your fingers
note = |when a hand is dipped in the glaze.
note = |
note = |*How thickly should the glaze be applied to the pot?
note = | Medium, a full 3 second dip is adequate.
note = |
note = |*How does this glaze interact with other glazes?
note = | It breaks up nicely and goes to a navy blue when used with our clear
note = |glaze.
note = |
note = |*What is your kiln type and size?
note = | Most of our work with it has been in an Alpine 20 natural gas kiln.
note = |We have also used it in a 23" dia. L&L econo kiln. The colors in
note = |oxidation are a bit lighter, and the surface is not as smooth.
note = |
note = |*How do you typically fire?
note = | The gas schedule is just 7.5 to 8 hours to reach cone 6. We fire
note = |between cone 6 and 7. Reduction starts at cone 010, and continues to
note = |cone 6, with the dampers being opened gradually as the firing gets
note = |closer to completion, but we maintain reduction to the end. No soak.
note = |We close the dampers but don't close the burner ports. We open the

note = |glaze on the top 1/3 or so and then brush or dip some third glaze on
