Thanks. I'll check with the studio. Rick

In reduction firings the celedon coloring in a true celedon comes from
Iron in the glaze. There are certainly clear glazes for reduction cone 10
and I'm surprised the studio doesn't have any. They are typically used as
liner glazes. Can you post the ingredients in the glazes that are being
used? If so, it might be possible to tweak those glazes for what you want
and you can ask if they can make you up a small batch.

Hi everyone. I am new to the group so I don't know what questions have
been asked. Here's mine...

I've been making pottery at a community studio for the past 3-4 years.
This studio uses gas fired (cone 10) kiln and glazes. Recently, I've
been using a couple of different slips (dark blue, chrome green, etc...)
and covering them with nelson celedon. [The glazes are provided by the
studio. They also have an amber celedon and "g" celedon (which might
stand for green or ginny -- I am not sure, but it is more greenish than
the nelson celedon)].

So..., here is my question. Are there other clear/transparent high fire
glazes that will work over slips in a high-fired, gas kiln? I would like
to try different color slips, but want a glaze that is something lighter
and/or more transparent than the greenish/bluish color the nelson
celedon. (I should note, I have no control over the kiln because it is a
community kiln.)

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Rick
