I need to have a chemical analysis done on the local clay I use for my
slip glazes so I can start using glaze calculation software to help make
different variations of the glaze. Can anyone recommend a lab that would
do this and tell me what the cost is?

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

Try ALS Chemex. Last time it was $120 for four analyses. They were
prompt and very professional.
