Hey Ron (and others that emailed me directly),
Thanks for sharing your tips! I ended up getting some Laguna clays, a
couple pounds of kiln wash, a pound of copper carbonate, some soda ash and =
a
little rutile and albany slip. (Here's a
pictureof-summer/pottery-supplies/>)
They were out of sodium silicate and didn't have the kiln shelf or posts
that I wanted. I didn't buy the rutile or albany slip for a specific
purpose... more just to experiment with someday. I'll probably try some of
the suggestions I recieved when I order some more posts and maybe glazes.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
