hello,

this is my first message although i have been subscribed for a couple
months now.

i'm a student and will be coming up for bfa review soon. currently, i'm
researching recipes for buff stoneware that are fairly inexpensive - i
know neph sy can be pricey.

i work sculpturally and fairly large (30"). i will be firing to
mid-range to keep the body open because i do multiple firings using
layers of engobes, slips, stains, oxides, and whatever else i can get my
hands on - the desired result being a surface with gobs of texture and
depth.

anyone out there have any recipes that would fit?

thanks in advance,

michele owens
