Results from Cone 6 firing

Test 26Test 25

Test 26 was a matt glaze good for oxides. Not great but the glaze was really thick – should re-test with more water

Test 25 was meant to be a clear but is a nice white matt

Test 24Test 23

Test 24 Was thick again and wants to start crawling

Test 23 meant to be a wide firing clear base glaze which is ok but on Keanes red terracotta changes to a slight green tinge – needs to be retested with more water added

Test 22Test 21

Test 22 is another clear that is ok and needs to be re-tested with more water to get rid of gas bubbles

Test 21 is my favourite – its a great crawl glaze I can’t wait to use somewhere!!

All tests were done on Keanes red terracotta, Keanes terracotta and MQF

tafe celadon w 1p cobalt

Sues test which I loved was TAFEs celadon with 1% cobalt fired at cone 6. It has lovely speckles and a green blue kind of look and is a little satin.

Crysanthos clear on keanes terr

Tests of Keanes red terracotta and terracotta with Crysanthos clear. Great glaze that if I am going to start buying a clear glaze this would be it!!

Amys midfire white

Shrinkage was 12.2%

Porosity was 2.38%

Amy's mid fire white test. Not the nicest clay, the shrinkage bar warped a bit… bit of a dead end this one…

Amys midfire flash

Shrinkage is 11.2%

Porosity is 0.68%

Amy's mid fire brown. Nice to use and is a light brown colour.
