LEACH YELLOW SETO - CONE 6 OXIDATION

Keep glaze thin or you will be scraping shelves. Becomes transparent yellowish brown and very fluid when thickly applied. The mid way thin/thick of application is mottled like a salt fired piece and is satin matte. But I got great reds, yellows, browns, blacks on pieces where it's thinner. To make tiny rivers of ash I make the same glaze substituting Red Art for the Ochre and trail it on with a slip trail bulb. Caution: use rubber gloves with unwashed ash glazes or face the possibility of contact dermatitis.

This is a gorgeous black with mottled silver effects. Tends to run at cone
6. Make sure you have a good foot on the piece.

This glaze has been around the bend a few million times, must have been
posted here on clayart many times. Its a glossy tan background with lots
of blue
floating. It's an absolutely reliable glaze, doesn't run, pinhole etc. you
can't go wrong with it.

Val's comments: wonderful surface. Really sensuous smooth satin matt. Kas
a kind of glow like looking at a pearl. All the colors keep this same
character, a gorgeous base glaze.

Hello!
Just writing everybody that here in Brazil, Lana Wilson's red thrived in my
eletric kiln.I applied it thick and used John Hesselberth's firing profile
(www.frongpondpottery.com) but cooling rate of -125 per hour from 2190oF
down to 1500oF, then let it cool naturally. I got a wonderfull glossy wine
red!!!
I will try and load pictures as soon as I can.
Thank you again for glaze gurus everywhere. I am excited to test other
glazes.

I call it Post's 244

It is a cone 6 glaze fired with a slow cool.
It feels great on both the dark body and the light body I have tried it
on, though the dark is richer visually.

A very clear gloss base. Use caution when adding oxides that also have
fluxing action as it can get runny.
