| Artists and chemists have been observing similarities with color. Chemists have been observing these color changes in solution, while artists have been doing the same with glazes, unfortunately the two ideas are not usually combined. This experiment will be focusing on the Cobalt II and Copper II content of ceramic glazes from a chemists point of view. The glazes being analyzed are reduced raku glaze, a strongly reduced raku glaze, and cone four and cone six fired glazes. The glazes will first be dissolved off of the clay using aqua regia, and the copper and cobalt content in solution will be determined by EDTA titration and atomic absorption. Raman spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy will be used to study the glaze in the solid form. |
