CONE 6 GLAZE LINKS

Below are some links with lots of information on glazes at this temperature, and also many glaze recipes. More than you could test in a lifetime!  

Some of our glazes on our current retail work we are not giving out right  now.  Others are referenced below.


Matt Glaze Recipes

 


  • Bill Van Gilder,  favorite glazes from his website.

  • Frog Pond Pottery  This is the Glaze Stability page of John Hesselberth's website. John and Ron Roy are active ClayArt participants, and have written a great book on Cone 6 glazes. The link to information about their book is available on the Frog Pond website. There are also articles and recipes.

  • DigitalFire This is the articles index of Tony Hansen's Digital Fire website. I don't know where to start to tell you about this website. Just go there prepared to spend a while! You could start with the articles under Base Glazes.

  • Don Goodrich, a potter from Zion, Illinois, has a text file you can download full of glaze recipes. No guarantees!

  • Gerstley Borate This is another site of Tony's with lots of information about replacing Gerstley Borate.

  • Alisa Clausen  Alisa, in Denmark, has been testing and recording ^6 oxidation glazes for years and has a great collection of recipes and photos of results.   The recipes she has tested, with firing information and comments, are all in the Clayart archives.

  • James Q. Jacobs This link is to some glaze recipes, but he has lots of other interests and activities on this site.

  • CClay The glaze page of Central Clay, a great website of mostly North Carolina potters. These glazes are all temperature ranges. Scroll down to Tom Gray's cone 5-6 contributions.

  • SDSU GlazeBase I am not sure if this gets updated anymore, but it is one of the first places I got started looking into glazes. At that time, I just collected wildly and tested anything that sounded nice, with not much clue about what it all meant. As with many glaze collections, there's a wide range here. They probably all have some good use, but not all on functional pottery.

  • June Perry June has four pages of cone 6 tests with photos, as well as lots of cone 10 glazes.

  • Ceramic Arts Recipes:  glazing techniques and glaze recipes.

  • Ceramics Today  Cone 5-6 Glazes

  • Clayart Archives by category, cone 4-7 glazes. The archives by category in general are a wealth of information.

  • Firing in Oxidation to C/4.5.6 by Val Cushing, from Studio Potter, Volume 5, Number 2 (June 1977)

  • Ian Currie:  excellent source to learn about glazes, glaze grid tests, and his books.  I especially recommend Revealing Glazes.

  • John Post's Currie Grids:  John is an elementary school teacher who also has lots of great kids ideas here.

    GLAZE SOFTWARE:

     

  • GlazeChem is Bob Wilt's glaze calculation and database software. This is what I use, and I really like it. He also has a download file there of glaze recipes, and links to the SDSU GlazeBase.

  • Matrix Glaze Software from Lawrence Ewing in New Zealand. Excellent resources at his website, including GlazeTeach an online glaze technology course.

  • Insight, Tony Hansen's software at DigitalFire.com.

  • GlazeMaster, John Hesselberth's glaze program.
