Hi Angela,

besides the glazemixer.com site, there is a clay co-op in Tucson which may
have a glaze mixing service. I don't know whether it includes mixing glazes
for non-members though.

See:

I read of a site where you could send your glaze recipe
to mixed up and it would be sent back to you dry.

Does anyone know of such a service? Has anyone tried this type of =
service?
It sounds like a solution for a beginning potter who hasn't
developed his pallet yet and doesn't have a stocked glaze chemical
cabinet.

A couple of our pottery students are unhappy with commercial
glazes and want to use some of our bucket glaze recipes as a beginning
in their own home studio.
I have my chemical cabinet stocked but don't have the time to provide =
this=20
mixing service.

I thought it was on Clayart but haven't been able to find
any information in the archives. I found glazemixer.com online but this =
is
not the site I visited. I seem to remember it
was a University Dept. Any thoughts appreciated.
