hi Jeff
I posted it in the technical file under glaze resources and recipes. let me know if you get better results!
Hi Donna,
It wasn't in the Insite data base. Where would I find it? Thanks, Jeff
sure, it's the unsuccessful red river....I would think it's in the data base, but if not I can post it
in reality it is more brown
Hi Donna,
If I may ask, what is the purplish glaze on the left side?
In the discussion forum, in glaze recipes you can search for the c harris temmoko glaze recipe, and at the bottom is some information about the hold and cooling.
I think the hold is at 1850 for an hour and then slow cooling
I was thinking about trying a new firing schedule. Where did you find the one you are planing to use and why are you using it?
thanks, I was disappointed because it was supposed to be orange red, but now I realize I wasn't firing it correctly (with the holds and slow cool)
I'm going to test the c harris temmoko and see if it gives me more of what I was looking for
i like the surface combination, it may not be what you wanted but it looks good from here.
