Ilmenite Glazes

Glossy Frog Skin
+ 3 grams Ilmenite
MC 0001
Cornwall Stone - 64
Gerstley Borate - 14
Flint - 7.5
Whiting - 7.5
EPK - 5
Zinc - 2
Rutile - 3
Ilmenite - 2
Satin Base with 5 grams Ilmenite
(no Rutile)
     These are just a few glazes that I used to test the material Ilmenite. It's basically just really dirty Titanium and is generally granular. These three glaze bases show how the Ilmenite can interact with the glaze. From melting entirely to remaining in its granular form the color effects are similar to Rutile's, but seemingly darker (when melted in).

    The MC 0001 looks nothing like the picture if fired to cone 6 oxidation.

    Ilmenite is a quite hard material from the FeO - Fe2O3 - TiO2 mineralogical series, whose composition is FeTiO3. It generally remains as black pepper dust, and only develop as freckles until it approaches the Cone 10 (2345° - 2381° F). Hope this is helpful.
