SIMON LEACH - Recent pots & glaze prep !

[CarlaHerren]

I made some glaze today and went back to the kitchen for a plastic spatula. Worked great and saved my hands.

Thanks again for all the great videos.

Simon, I learn a lot from your video clips. Thank you for teaching others in this way. Could you please write up the receipe of glazes in addition to just saying the name of items and their proportions. The words are new and sometimes I don't know them. I am just a beginner in this field.

I believe 2% of 2 kg is 40 gm not 80 gm.

I just tryed something new for me...a double walled pot that I carved through on the outside wall. I will send you a photo when I get it back from firing. thanks for sharing, I am fairly new to potting and enjoy new ideas

[JacquesGuto]

I like to use a nail brush to push the glaze through the sieve. Some how works quick for me. And that Iron oxide looks really pink...here in Africa the iron is really brick red. I'm practicing. Jacques, Namibia

Question - How will you repair the lug on the casserole?

Idea - I sawdust fire and if you apply a coat of paste wax and buff your pots you may like the color better. The blacks will appear deeper. Thank you for your videos, Claire

simon, put the sieve on the wheel! it goes way smoother man! just remember to go slow or you'll be the one that gets glazed!

could I use this glaze to fire at cone 06 oxidation? If not, what adjustment do you suggest?

[BenCMusician]

@wphlea this is a cone 10 glaze for reduction. If you want a celadon for oxidation at cone 06, find a transparent glaze for cone 06 and add Copper Carbonate at 1.5%, that should work for you!

[expatjon1]

i use a brush from a dustpan and brush combo to get the glaze through the sive .i also water the glaze down a lot more then drain the water off when it has sat for a while . i test thickness with a scrap bit of bisque and push my finger nail in to see how it coats --jon in binghamton ny ps simon it will get cold real soon  but i liked that 80 f day yesterday too

[flowbaz]

Can you tell us approximately what temperature you fire with your celadon?

[tripanfal]

Do you prefer this celadon recipe or the other one you gave out, which is the white slip recipe with iron oxide? I mixed and used the latter, which fits the clay I use well, no crazing.

[DirtKickerStudio]

I recently found out how important it is to sieve the glaze prior to each glazing session, to avoid pinholing.

[tripanfal]

Sometimes I sieve before glazing, depending on the glaze. It definitely needs to be sieved after making the initial batch though.
