May 2026: We are continuing a major code rewrite. Please contact us if you find issues. Thank you.
Left: Plainsman 3D, a raw quarry material that fires as a buff stoneware at cone 6-8. Right: Plainsman Coffee clay (stained black using raw umber). Both were fired using the C6DHSC firing schedule. The inside glaze is the GA6-B Alberta Slip base. As of Dec/2021 cobalt retails at $100/500g! Yet the deep blue color on the mug on the right contains zero cobalt, the color is from titanium and iron. This GA6-C blue happens with any dark burning body, or with light burning ones having a dark engobe (e.g. L3954B with a dark colored stain) under the glaze.
