C6 OX GLAZE TEST
GROUP #1
TEST TILE SUGGESTION:.
As you can see from most of my tiles, I use a little serrated steel tool to make
those center textured lines, so I can see if a glaze breaks and/or pools over
texture.
If I'm testing an iron bearing stoneware, I usually apply porcelain slip on the
right side of the front of the tile to get an idea of how it will look and fit
a porcelain body. Often, the tile will show crazing over the porcelain
slip but be fine on the side without the porcelain slip..
Also, it's a good idea since you're going through all the trouble of throwing a
tile and batching the glaze to get as much information as you can. To that end,
I often will dip the tile two or three times to get three levels of thicknesses.
You can do this one of two ways - either dip the tile once, then re-dip to the
middle, and then dip again, but only the top portion. Another method is to dip
the tile and then gradually pull the tile up so you get a very gradual
thickening as you get closer to the top. I tend to do the first method.
I will often brush some straight oxides--cobalt, chrome, copper, rutile, iron
etc. on the backs of the tiles to get a general idea of color responses.
Top row, far left tile is June Perry's #6610V3 Color J (see base recipe below) This is a beautiful teal blue with ((much better, and bit greener than tile shows).
Color J, Add: Copper oxide 2%,Cobalt oxide 0.5%,Tin oxide 2%
Top row 2nd tile from left is June Perry's #7096 color C . I wanted to see what I would get, using a lot of crystal forming materials. It's a very pretty matt aqua, with almost an iridescent quality. I will play with this one a bit more. I'd like to up the Silica alumina ratio a bit.

**PLEASE
NOTE: These are preliminary tests and none have been tested
for leaching.
The glazes with my name on them, were created or altered using Tony Hansen's Digital Fire Corp., IMC glaze software, which I consider an invaluable tool for analyzing and designing glazes. For 25 years I did this manually and this program and similar ones are amazing tools.
I will try to put more photos, recipes and information up as time and further testing permits.
