glazewerks maiolica kit

A potter friend wants to add a more functional line
to her work (which is now strictly raku). She tried using under-
glazes with clear glaze over them, but wasn't happy with the
results, so she is going to now try majolica, and has ordered the
"Glazewerks Maiolica Kit" advertised by A.R.T. in this month's
Ceramics Monthly.

She wants to use it on a white earthenware body. Does
anyone have any experience with using the kit on any clay body?
They suggest firing to either ^05 or ^04. Has anyone in Clayart
fired
the kit glazes to ^05? ^04? What were the results? Any
recommendations?

Thanks.
