  • isnt there somethign you do with silver (nitrate?) in raku glazes, maybe instead of copper?

    also, are there any raku glazes that end up being food safe?

  • I try not to play with silver nitrate. it wouldn't be included in the easy/simple raku explanations. and its not the glaze that isn't food safe (though it is) its the absorbency of the claybody after

  • mangenese dioxide added to a simple copper matte glaze can produce more purples and blues

  • I would guess it has to do more with the rate of cooling than the component its self. for example addition of iron will change copper mattes behavior by increasing the glazes thermal mass, making it easier to get a range of colors. because of the weight of mand diox i would guess this is also the case
