We were using Steven's fake ash glazes in the workshop. I found one with some similar ingredients for cone 6 from John Britt. Go to the glazes page

Thanks for the info on the fake ash glazes! I will have to see if I can get the college professor to let me mix a small batch, because I love the effects you get with them.

Eric Preece (aka Zoophagous) is testing a number of Steven's recipes @ cone 6 in an electric kiln and reporting on them at http://ultramegaceramics.blogspot.com. Even though he hasn't formally joined this group, he is with us in spirit, and he is the only one publishing any results so far. I'm gearing up for a glaze fire next weekend and will do basic tests on the recipes I have ingredients for.

For those interested, my work is as much about single firing as about atmospheric effects in oxidation. The Fire It Once group was up before I went to the SH workshop, so I'm leaving it active. The amount of info over there is continuing to build, so you might join that group as well, if you want to explore single firing. The glazes that are being discussed here, so far, are tailored to single firing. If you want to continue bisque firing, then you can work with less clay in your glazes.

Larry's link doesn't work because there is a comma in it instead of a period. Try this one lost creek pottery. Some very nice pots.

Hi, we have been using Steven's glaze recipes with Cone 6 electric firing for several years now. Some needed to be moffied slightly and the spary combinations need to be understood on several test pots to gain the proper ratio knowledge.

The glaze receipes can be found on our web site or can be purcahsed through GlazeMixer.com

Monty, what is your web-site? I am in love with your green and black pot, especially the green. Is that SH copper or Watercolor green?

Hi Michele, Please contact us directly at studio@lakesidepottery.com. our website is www.lakesidepottery.com. The combo is weatherd bronze over black (recipes on web).

Kindly, Morty

Anthony Andersen uses the S.H. glazes and layering techniques. He posted a link to pictures of pots and spraying techniques from one of Steven's workshops. This is the link.

Nice photos! Although Steven doesn't use a respirator when spraying (inside or outside), please be aware that it is the safest way to go about it. Some of his glazes (or any other glazes) have some toxic elements you don't really want to be breathing.

I am Steven's resident artist. Good news! We are now successfully firing at cone six. Great results... Beautiful rich colored pots.

Would you be able to post Steven's firing schedule here.

Steven has placed a cone 6 bowl on the home page of his web site.... www.stevenhillpottery.com

Steven has posted about 25 cone 6 pots on his Facebook page. You don't have to be friends to look at them.

Yes, the home page pot and the Facebook photos are truly fired to cone 6. He and I reformulated all his glazes to work at this temperature. He no longer fires to cone 8.

As a resident artist I have to send you to www.stevenhillpottery.com and ask you to email him directly from the sight. I do not have the authority to release his info. But I know he will be happy to discuss everything with you.

This group was set up in Sept. of 09 after I attended Steven's Oxidation vs. Reduction workshop. It was my hope that he would participate and take a leadership role here, but for his own reasons or time constraints he does not participate.
Rather than asking for Steven and his resident artist to give us the results and benefits of their work, we should be continuing to work on our own taking the work forward. The base recipes are published at Lakeside Pottery. Strontium Crystal Magic has strontium, lithium, calcium, and alumina, which are all crystal forming components in addition to their fluxing or stabilizing properties in the glaze melt. We know that SCM will melt at cone 6, but that is at the very low end of it's range and it might not give all the interative effects that we see when it's fired higher. Our job is to lower the melting point just a little, and retain the interactive qualities that are so desirable. Any one have any ideas on how we might do that? Anyone willing to do some testing to check out those ideas?

I can tell you that SCM, the watercolors, the juicy fruits and pier black have not been changed. Ferro Frit 3124 and 3134 work well in the lowering process. We due to my tests have even added a few new cone 6 glazes which all of you can do since they are so numerous.
It is my recommendation that you all use Hyerglaze or Insight to balance your formulas (recipes). It's not hard just time consuming.
George I am just trying to get everyone excited not give all the answers. I was a member before before I was his resident. But I agree that everyone should be doing their own work and not depending on someone to tell them what to do or hold their hands. I cannot due to proprietary restraints.
I guess I do whole-heartedly agree with you! Everyone get to work.
REMEMBER HIS EMAIL IS ON HIS WEBSITE...www.stevenhillpotteyr.com.

Genie, please accept my apology. I am sorry and embarrassed.

Steven is on the road but has an iPhone now so he can bet text and emails. sahill@me.com. He is great returning emails. Just takes a few days sometimes.
