firing found materials

 the materials after the bisque fire from left to right are-
1: pure vantage hwy clay
2: 50/50 vantage and ball clay
3: 50% vantage 30% epk 20% thorp sand
4: 50/50 vantage and gold art
5: 80% vantage 20% thorp sand
6: a white vantage hwy body

after learning that the vantage would melt regardless, I chose not to put it in the ^10 firing and replaced it with a white body which i found on the west side near Shelton the results are that only numbers 2, 4, and 6 survived everything else had melted including what was found on the west side. unfortunately I did not test the plasticity of the white vantage highway body but it felt nice and fired interestingly, turning more red after each firing.

cool glazes

so from left to right we have-

1: Riets green 3% chrome over shino

2: green salt 3% nickel oxide

3: amer celadon over amber celadon 7% nickel oxide

(Sometimes I really hate Blogger) Sample A is on the Left Sample B is on the Right. The test sample on the bottom is Sample A taken to ^06.

Lat Long 46.23915301482282, -120.25473833084106

This is the site where I collected samples A and B, this location is on the Yakama Indian Reservation. 

The dots you can barely see around the turquoise were made with slip on Sample B at 100% and fires to ^6 and the fired again to ^06.

 

The dots on this pitcher are slip work down with 100% sample A, and fired to ^10.

(left to right) Sample A to ^06, Sample B ^06, Sample B ^08, Sample C ^06

This site, also on the Yakama Indian Reservation is where I collected sample C. Sample C, I fired to ^08, ^06, ^6 and ^10. It was happy at all firing except for ^10.

This is Sample C marbled into a ^6 throwing clay body and fired bare to cone 6.

This is also Sample C fired to ^10 when mixed at a 50/50 ratio with Ball Clay. This piece has a light Shino glaze on it as well. The body is nice to throw but I had difficulty thinning the walls of the piece.

And finally samples D and E. D and E look promising when I dug them up but when I returned to the studio and compared them with my other samples the looked like dirt so I discarded them.
