Nuka and Minnesota Style Shino

[sam bucus]

Hello,

 

Hope everyone is doing well. I have been enjoying reading the posts and hope to get to see some of the pots at the Glenn Richards show if someone posts some photos!

 

Lately, I have been trying to find some recipes for glazes that I can use in my teachers gas kiln as well as a small anagama another potter I found here has that I can (hopefully!!) put a piece or two in here in Korea.

 

I sometimes have a little trouble coming up with materials without travelling all the way down to the big pottery store in Yoju so I have been trying to keep it simple. .

 

First I am looking for a Nuka glaze. So far I have this recipe from the Ash Glazes book by PHil Rogers. Also, I do not have access to rice straw ash.

 

Nuka 1                             

Flint  1/3

Ash  1/3

Feldspar 1/3

 

But I remember seeing a wonderful Nuka with a fair amount of movement and some green in it, (I think by Lee or Craig maybe?) that was posted, I thought on the mashiko's potter's blog or the the woodkiln blog, but I searched both and didn't find it again. Can anyone share a simple recipe?

 

Also I really like the Minnesota style shino glaze. Can anyone share a recipe for that glaze?

 

I also hope to do some line tests of ash glazes soon. Hopefully if they don't all turn out too bad I can post some pictures of my own pots to the weblog.

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

Mike, Repost. Can you read it?

Lee, Mike,

 

    Just thought I'd chime in here, and let you know that I didn't have the same results with the original post as a few others have mentioned. It came through fine for me, and I could read the whole thing. So add that to the mystery.  David McDonald, in Arizona

Can't find my recipe book so I found the glazes here.
