Hi all,

I'm just starting the adventure of creating my own glazes. I would like to start
with a simple high fire clear glaze (Cone 6-7). Since there aren't archives I
can access to see if this has been posted before, please forgive me if this
question has been asked before. I'd like to keep my first try at this as simple
as possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice and recipes.

Actually, there ARE glaze recipe archives for clayart on the CeramicsWeb.
These are searchable. The URL for the CeramicsWeb is:
