So, Lee, In regard to the question from Linda, have you ever been able to re-configure the Phil Rogers Synthetic Nuka, to a cone 6 formula? I do not think changing to Neph Sy, and adding 10% GB will do it.
Rob, I've never had a need to do it. It is originally a cone 8 glaze in oxidation. I'd imagine, the easist way would be doing a lineblend with the ferro 3134 frit that is already used in it.
Mg, Linda, Mitch this was fired neutral/oxidation in my wood kiln to about cone 9. Something like it can be done in electric at the same temp, but I am guessing the cycling atmosphere of the woodkiln causes the variations you see here. It is called Nuka Seiji. Seiji means celadon. It was the closest they could get to the Chinese celadons with their technology. My advice is to do the same. Use this as an inspiration, but figure out how to do it with the technology you have.
May I ask where you get your kiln brick, and what different kinds you use for the soft and hard? I am curious because I am trying to design my first kiln and I really love your design.
Hi Mashiko, I read many if not all your posts on Clayart. (I was a potter many, many years ago, couldn't support a family as a potter in 70's and am now getting back into it) I apologize for asking the very same questions others have asked. Indeed what is Nuka? This glaze shown is a beauty. Can it be adopted for cone 6 oxidation?
Please wait...
