Notes

*This multi-bag shipment contained material of different raw color (some was darker).

Fired bars are very dark brown at cone 02 proceeding to black by cone 4. At cone 6 it is beginning to melt. This indicates that the chemistry information here is not accurate, much higher fluxing oxide levels would be needed to create a material that melts at this low a temperature.

The clay is very non-plastic silty and very difficult to form test bars with. The high water content of the material, given its low plasticity, indicates a very small ultimate particle size.

Any substitution effort should be built on a non-plastic clay already containing as much iron as possible.

Note how the material splits during forming, this is because it is so non-plastic.

Laguna Barnard Slip Sub

Code #

L3673

Location

BOX52

Notes

*This reaches maxiumum vitrification around cone 4, similar to real Barnard Slip.

This is a much more plastic material (almost 7% drying shrinkage vs. 4%). This will make it behave much differently when use pure or in a high percentage in a slip or engobe.

It does not have the deep fired color of real Barnard.

Notes

*Redart makes a good base because it has low plasticity and already contains some iron. All it needs is some silica to match the percentage analysis of Barnard fairly closely.

I am doing a Mole% calculation because the LOI of these two differs and that makes it hard to compare percentage analyses.

This recipe produces a higher proportion of total fluxes than Barnard Slip, but since this is a compound it will not likely melt as well, even with the same chemistry (so the extra fluxes will help). The calculated thermal expansion is also higher, but still relatively low compared to most glazes.

This has a lower LOI, that may be helpful with some underglaze situations.

This has a low Si:Al ratio, but not different enough to be an issue.
