Blue Celadon

Pinnell Celadon

This bowl is glazed with Pinnell Celadon using yellow iron oxide.

Blue Celadon

I am using a variation of Pete Pinnell's Blue Celadon from John Britt's book, page 68.

Pinnell Celadon

Custer Feldspar 24.5
Silica 34.3
Whiting 19.6
Grolleg Kaolin 19.6
Barium Carbonate 1.9
Bone Ash 2.0
Spanish Iron Ox 0.5

I am adding the Bone Ash and subbing Spanish Iron Ox for Yellow Iron Ox. When I used YIO I got a wonderful blue celadon with black speckles, like pepper sprinkled about the surface. I did not ball mill the glaze.
