Stony Glaze

The first glaze i'm posting is a matted marbled stone look at a high firing in an electrical kiln at cone 6.

Base Glaze
~~~~~~~~

Ball Clay ~~~~~ 20%
Nephelene Syenite ~~~~~ 10%
Silica ~~~~~ 20%
Barium Carbonate ~~~~~ 30%
Custer Feldspar

Colorants and Fluxes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yellow Ochre ~~~~~ 2%
Tin Oxide (or Zircopax, but double up) ~~~~~ 1%
Lithium Carbonate ~~~~~ 2%

Have fun with this glaze, it makes a great compliment to blues and greens. However, note that it may run depending on your kiln. So it's a good idea to keep it far from the bottom.
