The black recipe was made using G1214M with 5% Mason 6666 stain. The oatmeal overlayer is 50% the thickness of the black. The more fluid under-black comes through leaving islands and vertical rivulets of the stiffer oatmeal. Good control of the glazing process is needed to get consistent results using this approach.
At various thicknesses on M340, M370, P300. Fired at cone 6 oxidation using the C6PLST firing schedule.
For speckle add granular manganese (adjust the percentage to get the desired speckle density, start at 0.25%). Since the manganese particles are very heavy, and thus want to settle out, the glaze slurry should be thixotropic and stirred before each dip.
