^10 - light reduction glazes by
5string
I recently switched studios from one that did ^10 heavy-reduction to one
that does ^10 light-reduction. I tried a bunch of test tiles using glazes
from my previous studio (i.e., heavy reduction) and the results were (not
unexpectantly) disappointing. So..., any suggestions for some ^10 glazes...

Low-fire lead-free glazes? by
5string
Hi. I was looking at Charles Gillespie's Cone04 - Low Fire Pottery Book (2nd
ed.), and noticed that most of the glaze recipes contain "white lead." Does
anyone know of a source of low-fire LEAD-FREE glaze recipes? Or in the
alternative, does anyone have any low-fire lead-free recipes that they...

Hi All,
I have a recipe for a glaze that calls for R 10. I made the glaze and

wanted the recipe so I gave it to him and he asked me what is R 10 and
I don't know. Here is the recipe:

Castable clay by
Steve Mills
Bob,
You will need to make a plaster mould of the tile form, as clay slip
won't dry out successfully in a rubber mould.
Make a plaster tile from your rubber mould and don't let it dry out!
Get some Soft Soap (also known as Mould Maker's Size), and using a soft
brush and a little water, work up a...

Bisque Fire question by
[email protected]
So....
I accidently used Cone "4" to bisque fire a large number of vases,
mugs, bowls etc.... Obviously I meant to use Cone "04"...
Anyone know what the result is going to be? I'm going to do a test
glaze fire shortly however I'm worried the pots are not going to accept
any glaze.
Thanks

Shino Clay Body by
w
Any decent grade porcelain or white stoneware should work fine. Depends on
what you want for a finish when it comes out of the kiln. Your shino is
going to react differently with each clay body. Try one and see if you get
what you like.
Best,
Wayne

glazed pots not fired for months by

I went away (travelling for many months) and left some pots that had been
glazed but not fired on the shelf covered with plastic. Since I have never
not fired my pots within a short period after glazing, I am not at all sure
if this would cause a problem. Has anyone had any experience with...
