Cone 10 Grey Transparent Celadons?
Hey All,
I am looking for a nice dark grey Celadon for Cone 10 reduction. After looking through John's book and a few others, it seems that the usual colorants for these glazes are highly toxic (Nickle oxide, iron chromate, uranium oxide). Are there other good oxide colorants out there or should I look for stains?
Thanks
Bailey

Oh, I can see now that John had replied already, so why should I? :-)
ReplyDeleteI just got this idea: I'd try to mix in little bit of artificial "gosu slip" colorant.
There are many recipes for this mixture (see e.g. "Inside Japanese pottery" book)
In my tests it was quite nice neutral black/gray.

Jaja,
ReplyDeleteCould you post the recipe? I have several in my book but not sure it is the same as yours.
