John,
I have use Rutile blue since the beginning. I would share my
cone 9, but I don't know where my glaze book is right now.

Blue, Blue, my world is blue,
80 per cent of my sales,
Is Chappells Floating Blue!*
*as sung to the rock version of "Fifth of Beethoven"!"
Sorry, with all the talk of Floating Blue, and all the gagging, hacking
and barfing (Edouard and Dean),
I simply could not resist!
I got into the blue thing when I realized that over time - when bringing
stuff home that didn't sell at shows, my collection of non-blue stuff
was growing quite large and the blue stuff brought home was nil. I
started cranking out more blue stuff and letting the other stuff slide.
Since my focus is more on the craft and the sale, and not so much the
artsy-fartsy, it was a move that I do not regret. I've had the blues
ever since - only in this case they are the Happy Floating Blues! I can
quite understand how someone could be quite bored by all the blue, but
it's a living. What else can I say
Regards,

hi john
fantastic would i say,
im not for long potter, but what i have concluded is that the most potters
are making some difficult glazes, like shinos , celedons , copper red, too
please themselves, and i agree that they are making it but they dont sel it
so mutch as for exemple a floating blue
i understand that there begins the discussion about : art in pottery
i think that not everyone will put so mutch energy in difficult glazes
my for myself i want the difficult way , BUT i like that other way to, i
want to experiment, i like that
and im shure that it isnt only the glaze that makes a pot, the pot himself
has to be turnd wel and have a good shape
mutch luck with the floating john greatings jean
