Just saw June Perry's list of oxide Washes on here blog:

So I thought I would post it here too!

June is and awesome person and potter and we miss her alot!!


......... This morning, I weighed out a couple of small glaze batches of my new clear glaze, got one sieved and still have to do the other one. Then I want to test some oxide washes over the clear and the same base with 3% rutile. Before I moved I discarded or gave away all my washes, so it's time to start over.

Here's a list of oxide washes I've accumulated and tested over the years. I used these with my cone ten reduction glazes, but many would work just as well over oxidation glazes.

When water amount isn't specified, just aim for a water color consistency. For lower fired usage, substitute gerstley borate, or frits like Ferro 3124, or Ferro 3134 for the feldspar.
