Good day all
Some time ago, I read about these two glazes and I intended to try them. Finally I have time to do some new glaze testing,
now I cannot find the recipes anywhere, have done an archive search even! Would
someone be willing to share them with me? I am firing to cone 6, by the way.
Seasons greetings to everyone,
Deborah

Deborah-
Here is the receipe and analysis of Floating Blue or Blue Hare. I
find the glaze works better at ^5 with a slow firing. If the firing is too
hot you get green snot instead of Blue Hare.Have fun testing.
