This page is more for my personal use than anything, but you’re welcome to have a look. Over the past months I’ve been constantly reading and finding ideas in materials, processes, forms. Hopefully an online listing will be helpful; here I can record ideas, and link to posts with photos of the finished experiments.

Over temoku:
Ferro frit 3134 images
Bone ash images
Whiting images
Granulated nickel images
Soda ash images
Titanium dioxide images
Over woo blu: all done, but  not documented
Ferro frit 3134
Bone ash
Whiting
Silica
Granulated nickel
Soda ash
Titanium dioxide

Terra sigilata in soda. Alternately, maybe a redart slip.

Firing methods:
Try some of the methods in Gail Nichols’ book.
Reduce with water
Spray soda mixture

Glazes:
Pinhole shino
Crawling shino - done
Carbon trap shino
Mino (sinter) shino - done
Glaze 221 (from Aug/Sep CM “Green Wood”): 40 Ash, 40 Feldspar, 20 Ball clay.
Randy’s green, reducing the copper and tin content.
Glossy copper blues and greens.

Clays:
Silica sand in porcelain - done
Silica sand in FCSI - done
Tile 6 based clay
Gail Nichols’ high alumina clay

Forms:
Pouring vessels of all sorts.
Candleholders (I once used my work to hold candles (the power was out), but want to make some pieces deliberately for that.)
Pods to complement the vessels. As pinch pots, or built in slump molds.
Homage to lead vent pipe flashing.
Container to start seedlings.
Many architectural products are cast. It would be interesting to cast or mold them in clay, a way of preserving bits and pieces of historic buildings. I had this idea while looking at an old brass window pull.
Allergens.
Stacked houses, previously mentioned here
Slipcast styrofoam, previously mentioned here
Jars for Things.

Slips:
Helmer slip experiments
Soft pinky slip
Variations on Tile 6 slip:
Add neph sy
Add soda ash
Soda ash over
Frit 3134 over
Add silica sand

Learn to do biaxial and triaxial blends.

Refire soda-fired work at c.04 (electric) to add accents of lowfire glaze.
