Black Iron Oxide

4 – 8 % gives darker shades than the Red Iron Oxide. When in combination with other oxides gives dark mineral brown/black shadows. Great for combining with other oxides, particularly Copper Oxide.

Please see how it reacts with other oxides in the photos.  Experiment with combining it with other oxides and see what happens.

All photographs show the oxide used in combination with JSC earthenware transparent glaze fired to 1140ºC. The results will vary depending on what glaze you use.
