This is a 77 page PDF outlining my 25 years of experiments with Oil Spot Glazes.
I include over 70 proven recipes of both Oil Spot Glazes as well as Cover Glazes which are used in combination with the Oil Spot recipes. I also include many firing cycles that I have used over the years as well as the most tried and true. I have detailed mixing, application and firing instructions to make sure your efforts are successful. Then I show sample pieces revealing the range of possibilities for these amazing glazes. I include both electric and gas cone 10-13 kiln cycles in both oxidation and reduction as well as cone 6 electric cycles and some cone 5/6 spotted glazes and cycles as a bonus. And finally I list multiple refiring cycles.
This is a rare piece of ceramic glaze literature because most people keep these secrets to themselves but I wanted to share what I learned so others could take it as a starting point in their research. (Plus I am getting old and forgetful and wanted to write it all down.)
It took over 5 months to write up and over 25 years to perfect. This is well worth the price tag because as you know, trying to learn this all yourself would take years of making tiles, throwing, trimming and bisque firing thousands of pieces, making glaze recipes and variations. Basically the cost of two gas firing and you can have it all. A gem of ceramics literature.
