Thanks again. You all are really great.

first time since last

to fall.

Hi all... I am very interested in glaze recipes being shared online... also,
it would be of interest to me to also know whether results of tests were done
in an oxidation or a reduction atmosphere.

Thanks for sharing all of the great sounding glazes... can't wait to test
them!
