Purple Spotted GlazeTests

Short video showing some tests with a purple ( lavender glaze ). Cone 6 and Cone 8 electric. I used Frost cone 6 porcelain and Frost cone 10 for the cone 8 pieces. Not sure what other clay bodies will do?

Really great to see your thought process as you talk about all these tiles! Thanks for the lesson!

[@LindaGisla]

Thanks a LOT for this lesson. I am new to making glazes and this makes me so eager to try and see what I'll get.

Such a wonderful reminder of the importance of stepping back and testing to achieve the results you want. Thank you!!

Great vid John! This is great stuff. Not sure I'm gonna run off and do 75 tiles but am going to whip up 200g of one or two of those and put on some pots.

I have been using Randy's base with 2% as part of combination of glazes over SCM cool for a couple years, I'm getting that spotty pink purple look. I spray and use ash or juicy fruit on top. works really good!

[@kathygodfrey3158]

Sounds lovely 😍 can you share a link to pics?

[@Neldidellavittoria]

Very lovely glazes. Apart from the pink-spotted ones, I particularly loved lovely effects in the 8.0 and 9.0% rutile tiles, , and the beautiful colour of the 1.5 chrome tile. Am I right to think that the pink spots on the blue are due to the interaction between the Co and the talc?

[@heatherhughes7467]

Ey up from yorkshire. Very cool! Can I ask please John. ... do you just mix a huge batch of the base and divide into 100g little batches...then add your different colourants to each one. Or do you mix less of the base. .and add say 1 per cent chrome or whatever, d it your tile, then add another 1 percent then dip next tile etc etc... but then it's not a perfect amount. If you get me? What I'm really wondering is..how to reduce the left over materials. ..what do you do with all your left over stuff? I know some people mix it all up together and and nd materials to alter the chemistry...but then you've no idea how to recreate that glaze in future... Help! Love your videos.

[@deepashtray5605]

Sweet. Is it oxidation firing? If so could one expect similar results in a reduction firing?

[@johnbrittpottery]

Electric oxidation. No, reduction is different...

[@peachgf18]

Hi John! Do you have a website where you've posted your favorite recipes? Would love to see how they react to my clay bodies

[@johnbrittpottery]

Not really but go on the Facebook Group...Exploring Midrange Glazes Together with John Britts book ...and either search or ask a question. Someone will have tried them . 15,000 potters

[@mattmurray778]

Fantastic! Knocked it out of the park gain!!! Just one question, is thezircopax 8, the base? And than 6 cobalt added? Or is 6 cobalt the base and the zircopax was side bar test?

[@johnbrittpottery]

The Randy's base with 8 % zircopax is the white liner only. Sorry.

[@johnbrittpottery]

You should just be able to read the recipe I have listed there.

[@SouthernGroove]

John - did you run your blends with 8% Zircopax in the base?

[@SouthernGroove]

Believe that I see the answer in a thread below no response needed John

[@jkmason69]

John, great video and I enjoy your book. Can you clarify the recipe of Randy's red? Your recipe in this video does not add up to 100%, (102.2%), and differs from the Randy's Red recipe on page 88 in your book, "Mid Range Glazes".

[@johnbrittpottery]

Just uses the base recipe without the iron...the added cobalt etc.
