Some experiments

These are all commercial glazes with SCM over the "Celadon".

Some pots by Clare

These are by my 4 1/2 year old daughter Clare. She threw both cups, made the handle, made and attached the "buttons" on the cup and brushed the red glaze. I helped with the lines on the cup, attached the handle on the mug, and did the other glazes.

Just a plate

Cone 6. Strontium Crystal Magic - Cool with Water Color Blue sponged on and Hannah's Blue Ash and Jen's Juicy Fruit (with iron) sprayed over the top. This is from the same spraying and firing as the previous posts, but it's made out of a red clay.

Strontium Crystal Magic - Cool Stoneware vs Porcelain

Two bowls. Identical glaze on the outside (liner is different). White stoneware is on the left. Porcelain on the right...

These are SCM Cool with Hannah's Blue Ash, Water Color Blue, and Jen's Juicy Fruit (with iron) over.

The stoneware bowls fared better than the stoneware mugs with SCM. I only lost one bowl due to bad pitting/cratering.

Strontium Crystal Magic - Cool

Porcelain mugs

Finally got enough pots to do another firing. This time it was cone 6 with "Strontium Crystal Magic - Cool" (unmodified) from the recipes on the Steven Hill DVD. The other glazes are Hannah's Blue Ash, Water Color Blue, and Jen's Juicy Fruit (with iron) sprayed lightly over everything else. The liners are Mayco Oyster and Green Tea.

I used these glazes on two types of stoneware (Mile Hi Ash and Laguna Whitestone) and three types of porcelain (Mile Hi Aspen, Laguna Frost, and "The Coup" from Matt and Dave's Clays). I had really good luck with all the porcelains and fairly poor luck with both types of stoneware (craters and pinholes even though I bisque fired to cone 03). I think I'm done with anything other than porcelain for SCM.

Firing schedule was:
   400/hr to 2070
   100/hr to 2165 hold 1 hr
   9999/hr to 1700
   50/hr to 1600 hold 1 hr
   50/hr to 1500.
Total firing time approx 13 1/2 hrs.

SCM - Cone ~5 3/4

These are using the recipes and firing schedule from the Steven Hill Surface Techniques video (link 1, link 2). I skipped the Silica, which appears to be a typo, in Hanna's Fake Ash. Although they don't look like it to me, these are a little bit underfired. The kiln reached around Cone 5 3/4.

These are on Porcelain (cups) or white stoneware (mug and bowl).

All are SCM - Warm 100 with Bailey Orange Red, Hanna's Blue Ash, Watercolor Blue, and Jen's Juicy Fruit over. I did not use any Silicon Carbide.

There will be a few more pics and a little more info to come... 

Porcelain cups. Liners are Mayco ^5-6 glazes (Oyster and Cinnabar):
