Lisa Orr Glaze Recipes




These are some images of Lisa Orr's pieces I found on the web. The recipes are from an article by Rafael Molina-Rodriguez entitled "A Dialogue with Lisa Orr", Ceramics Monthly May 2000,  page 48 -51. She was featured on the cover.

Color variations are possible with additions such as:
Honey yellow: 11% Spanish Red Iron
Turquoise: 6% copper Carbonate
Soft Blue: 0.50% Cobalt Carbonate

Dear, Mr, Britt, what do you refer
to when using the word stable, regarding Lisa's glaze recipes.i.e., Runny? glaze fit?
