Some of the senior students at Raritan Valley Community College in
Somerville, New Jersy are working on glaze development.

They are interested in obtaining recipies for LICHEN GLAZES, VOLCANIC GLAZES
AND ANY OTHER SPECIAL EFFECTS GLAZES that any of you fellow Clayartists can
recommend, together with firing details.

Many thanks.

Marvin,

Check out the aritcle(s) written in Ceramics Monthly during the last 2 years
or so. I know Lana Wilson had at least one in there about her "lichen" glazes
she's developed. She's done extensive glaze testing in this area and has had
wonderful sucess. She also has a wonderful new book out called Ceramics:
Shapes and Surface which has some recipes and examples of her work, as well
as a ton of information regarding handouts, glaze development, formulas,
firing techniques, handouts for teachers. time management, creativity, etc.,
etc. Or you can contact her direct via snail mail or e-mail at:
Lana Wilson
465 Hidden Pines Lane
Del Mar, CA 92014
(619) 755-3940
email: lwilson@ucsd.edu

Lana is a former professor of mine and a wonderful, generous lady. I'm sure
she would be helpful in directing you to some sources for your request. (On a
side note, she is one of the lecturers & panelists at this year's NCECA in
Las Vegas... if you are attending, you may want to make sure you catch her
panel/lecture.)
Good luck!

Ken
