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):

Some Porcelain Shino bowls. Penn State inside, Malcolm's Shino outside.

Rutile Blue with Copper Grape over the Rutile inside

Some High Fire Bowls

Here's a few bowls from the last kiln load. The shino bowls have really old (Mixed 12/26/10) Malcolm Davis that I put on really thick on the outside and Penn State on the inside. The others are Tenmoku with Nuka over on the outside.

More Nuka over Tenmoku

This time I dipped the Tenmoku, sponged some Nuka over, then finished the Nuka with a brush. These are Cone 10 reduction and all are Los Altos Blend clay except "Cups 2", which are Mile Hi Firethorn.

Cups 1 (VC AA Taffy inside)

Cups 2 (Nuka inside and porcelain slip around the base)

Nuka over Tenmoku

Here's the best of my first batch of Nuka glaze over Tenmoku glaze. The Tenmoku was dipped, the Nuka was brushed.

Next time I'll be adding a little more Nuka.

Results - Reduction Dropoff 5/11/11

Not too bad. You can see the "before" pics here:
I am much less happy with the iron bearing stoneware (Laguna Los Altos blend) this time - everything is brown. I assume it's because I used SCMO rather than SCM, which seemed to work much better on that clay body. I'm very happy with the Mile Hi Ceramics Birch and Dover. Everything on those bodies came out great except for blistering on the Rutile Blue liner glaze on the two big pots..
