I've gotten some requests for the Glazes that the Peeler's used in their 55
years of making pottery so I am just going to scan the actual pages, instead
of transcribing them, so the individual notes which he wrote about the
glazes and modifications are on them too. If anyone would like them I can
just e-mail them to you offline.

One glaze of interest to many may be this yellow that they used on many
sculptures with success.
