I started a load of laundry today and put in my regular soap and some 20
Mule Team Borax. The borax is very fine in size. I was reminded of a
workshop Paul Soldner gave in Torrington, Wyoming in '68.
He built a simple corbelled arch kiln from scrap house brick and had a
weed burner propane set-up for the heat source. The glaze he used was
50% 20 Mule Team Borax and 50% colemanite. It produced a clear white
Raku on a white body and a pinkish color when he glazed over a red
bodied clay.

I have a cone 016 glaze that is similar to the old Japanese Raku pieces
if anyone would like the glaze. Let me know and I'll post the glaze.
