VICTORIA'S CREAM

I got this recipe from Victoria Morris.
A creamy matte buttermilk that turns much whiter on the second dip. It has a great smooth texture and varies greatly depending on the clay body.
High in Barium, and turns much more yellow in the presence of iron.

This glaze is extremely matte and will stain with a marker - probably not a good choice for dinnerware.

*adding
up to 2% yellow iron oxide will make a pretty yellow

750 ml H2O

GLOSSY GLAZE 709-27

This was Sandy's glaze and made several nice colors with the addition of iron and nickel,  and an incredibly reactive vanadium glaze I am calling "Starry Night".


Nickel made a nice grey-brown, especially at Ni-1(.4%) and Ni-2 (.8%):

Starry Night was best around 2-3% vanadium.

 Fe-2, Fe3 and Fe4 all made pretty blue greens.
