Potters & Sculptors - Making Rock from Mud
Comment
Probably. I haven't used this glaze in a long long time. It is a wonderful glaze but I lost interest in it.
Henry, I slow cooled it drastically to get it the semi matte color. I also probably used a different red iron oxide than you. I used a synthetic RIO that has colorant in it.
Hope this helps?
Can you post your variation of this glaze? I used it some time ago but could never get it to loo like the reddish semil-matt glaze in the original article. So I found another similar glaze, bird's matt white, yellow, and red variations, from an earlier Clay Times article (^6 ox). Would like to know how you got Bush's glaze to come out as seen in your postings. Thanks - Mikpo Pottery
See George's comment below. It is a variation of Richard Busch's recipe, with my 15 hour cone 6 schedule.
The brush marks are a RIO stain, 50 GBorate and 50 RIO. I don't usually use Grestley Borate, but I don't mind on stains as I like it nice and thick because I can just dip my brush in water to adjust the thickness.
This glaze looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Did you use ROI and frit mix and brush it on bisque to get the darker section on the Yunomi. Denice
Very good! Yes it is his glaze combination. Although I used iron stain instead of the MnO based stain. I have the ingredients for it, but I am not sure if it is worth the difference in color. I might mix up some eventually.
I am loving the glaze combination because my true heart wants to do woodfired, but I can't due to the location I live. So I will just continue to use these and adapt other colors in with it. This is probably my most favorite piece I have made to date.

Harbor Freight is a great place to find unbeatable prices for better HVLP spray guns with stainless steel parts and serviceable economy models, as well as detail guns, all tested by our members for spraying glazes, as well as compressors to power the guns. As yet no one has tested and commented on the remarkably inexpensive air brushes at harbor freight.
The critter siphon gun is a spray alternative that is well liked by some of our members, and is available at amazon.
Amazon is also a competitive source for photo light tents for shooting professional quality pictures of your work. They also have the EZ Cube brand favored by several of our members. You might also want to purchase the book Photographing Arts, Crafts and Collectibles . . .

If you just want to spout off, it is best accomplished as a blog posting. If you want to get more guidance and ideas from other members, ask a question as a new discussion topic. In the upper right corner of the lists for both types of posting, you will find an "+Add " button. Clicking it will open an editor where you create your posting. 4/16/2014
