Welcome to The Potter’s Round Table, the topic for this episode is Ash Glazes.
Ash glazes produce unique effects and interesting textures on ceramics. And they can be formulated for all temperatures and atmospheres. In this episode Phil explains the differences between several types of ash, the chemical makeup of different types of ask, the science behind ash rivulets and over twenty different ash glaze recipes.

I would argue that it is one way to achieve a sort of immortality when what it is you have learned to effectively pass on-wards to others. As such we stand on the shoulders of giants helping us reach higher and see farther. Giants as Mr. Phil here. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

@WashingtonStreetStudios
@WashingtonStreetStudios 3 года назад
Hi Daniel, Thanks for your question, a good question! I tried a small experiment once with vapor glazing using lye (concentrated sodium hydroxide pellets sitting right on the clay surface), but it wasn't very successful; no glaze was produced. I don't have a good answer; I'm speculating here because I'm not familiar with the all the properties of lye. Theoretically, it could work since the ash "lye" could contain sodium and potassium hydroxide (and other sodium and potassium compounds), and therefore could provide sodium and potassium oxide fluxes, but I'm skeptical. I think that a problem might be having and keeping enough lye on the surface of the pots at high temperature to react with the clay and form a glaze. Both hydroxides melt at very low temperatures ( 600 - 700 F) and could therefore soak into the clay (or run off the surface?). I'm not sure if the hydroxides might also start to vaporize (evaporate) before they could react with the clay. But, when in doubt, try it! Phil

The most common is potash feldspar, and either potash or sodium can be used. They do produce different results, with Custer feldspar (potash) being our normal choice.

love your work! And i have a question: can i mix rust (iron oxide), with wood ash glaze, say a 50/50 ratio of woodash to clay, and add another 10% or so of rust to the mix? What would the results likely be firing at about 1200 degrees Celcius?
@WashingtonStreetStudios
@WashingtonStreetStudios 2 года назад
You should check on glazey.org to see what you can do. Ash is a flux and iron oxide is a flux/stain. You need to add a stabilizer and a glass former to make a glaze. Phil couild have provided a better answer but he passed away last July. Good luck and keep watching!
@CallUsTemily
@CallUsTemily 3 года назад
Big fan! I have never desired a wood ash glaze but this got me thinking 🤔 I have been having problems with a clear glaze from my local store crawling- but only over underglaze. Could it be that the raw underglaze adds enough calcium to affect the surface tension of the clear and cause the crawling?? And if so, what would I add to test a work around when I don’t know the composition of the original ...Gerstly Borate? You have taught me so much! I could never repay. Thank you thank you thank you!
@WashingtonStreetStudios
@WashingtonStreetStudios 3 года назад
I will forward your question to Phil, the expert. Do you have or can you get the full recipe? Without knowing the full recipe, it is difficult to know what adjustments need to be made. You can take a small sample and do some glaze testing though, see this video for some ideas on making test blends ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zantVEjfLmY.html
@CallUsTemily
@CallUsTemily 3 года назад
@@WashingtonStreetStudios Thanks. I could not get the recipe per se but I was told it is minspar, and gerstly borate in pretty equal amounts around 40% and silica for most of the rest of the 100% it does have a tiny amount of calcium and a tiny amount of epk, some other add ins. I know I will have to do small batch testing, I am open to that. I would like to get a starting place really. Knowing that it already has a lot of Gerstly helps; that’s probably not where I need to start! Lol. But I had never thought about surface tension as a glaze factor.

Thank you for making in-depth videos like this explaining ash glazes. I made some ash glaze mixing tea leaves ash and transparent glaze. When I applied the glaze it was black, but after it was fired at 1200c it resulted in an almost transparent glaze with a little bit of green. I am wondering if it is the leaves problem or something else?
@WashingtonStreetStudios
@WashingtonStreetStudios Год назад
Aaron Lu, Thanks for the good question! At high temperatures the color from organic materials burns out significantly. You need the stronger colorants provided by minerals like cobalt carbonate, red iron oxide, chromium, and copper carbonate to name a few. All ashes that I know of will not provide much color, like the green you experienced, but they do provide a flux with high surface tension that causes the rivelets. If you want the color, search for recipes that use the stronger mineral colorants. Regards, Dennis

Very cool and informative! even though I've never taken up the skill, I found this enjoyable to watch. While watching, it crossed my mind that the chemistry and compositions varied widely but the constant was that water was used. It's there a reason the water soluble components need to be introduced to water? Couldn't something like mineral oil be used instead?
@WashingtonStreetStudios
@WashingtonStreetStudios 10 месяцев назад
That is a good question. The main reason to use water is cost and availability. Most of the material content of oils and water itself are burnt off in the firing. Only if there are elements that don’t burn off at high temperatures would the base liquid matter. Thanks for asking.

Great video. Few questions: Q1-On the triax blend tests, I’m not sure how different number of “points” works on the 3 axis. You show 2 / 2 / 3 Intermediate points. I think might be easier if all the same? Or maybe ygive example of blend percentages in example you sketched. Q2-Any thoughts on using volcanic ash? Appreciate the videos!

After thinking about, I’m thinking you might be able to have 5 points (a halfway point) so nodes could line up better. I just don’t know how 3 points would work. I need to think about more. This is a good mental exercise.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your comments and your questions. In our next, upcoming Potters' Round Table presentation in March, we will be discussing triaxial (and quadraxial) blends in more detail. Volcanic ash (pumice) can definitely be used as a glaze ingredient; it has a composition somewhat similar to Cornwall stone. Here's an example of a nice cone 6 base glaze recipe that can be used with a lot of different colorants: volcanic ash 58.3% EPK 9.3 Gerstley borate 32.4 + bentonite 2%. Phil

Dubem obi, the answer depends on the kiln design and the BTUs produced by the torch. A small handheld torch will not provide enough BTUs for even a very small kiln. Here is a video from Simon Leach, who converted an electric kiln to gas using weed burners (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kHu1B4kJDKI.html) and he gets some really good results.
