HI, MY NAME IS JOYCE. I AM IN HIGH SCHOOL. MY TEACHER HAS
ASSIGNED ME TO FIND GLAZE FOURMULAS USING SIMPLE CHEMICALS, SINCE WE DON'T
HAVE MUCH OF A BUDGET. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS

Joyce,

You may want to investigate using borax (20mule team) as your flux in
your glaze recipes. Clay is cheap, and so is silica, which you will
probably use each in the range of 10 - 25%.
good luck - Paul
