This is a story on my journey on firing my pottery in my Gas Kiln at home.
Cost of my Glaze firings are about $30.00 a time.
Hear is the results of my gas firing 6/10/19.
The two pots that are a clay colour, the glaze is call retile blue with iron oxide.
The other four pots has a glaze call Duck Egg Blue. All my firing with this glaze have came out with bad results. The results are not bad this time around.
Top Shelf. All OK. I got result with one of my glazers. Kept reading to find out about one of glaze I did not like.
The Rutile Blue Glaze is looking good.
When firing we do not do the full reduction. That is why there is more brown than blue in this glaze.
This is the glaze, that I have had some bad redults.
It is call duck egg blue. Not nice by it self, I have been adding other minerals to get better results. The two pots above I have Alumina Calcined sprayed on, I only gave it one spray, next time I will give it two coats of Alumina Calcined Spray. The second vase with the lines, has a nice colour. Here is more of the same glaze, on the top shelf.
More Pictures.
This Glaze is shown some pinky/cream shades.
This top shelf I am happy with will be able to sell pieces of pottery to get some of my cost back, so I can kept going making pottery and firing pottery.
