Dear ClayArt, please continue to send me recipes for cones 6/7/8 for my
electric kiln. That goes for clay body, engobe, glaze, washes, etc.
Batch recipes, Unity fomulations, or percentage by weight, anyway you have
it written down.
Normally I share these recipes again with other potters, but I am doing it
by entering it into Hyperglaze, then generating a text file. That way I hav=
e
a record of all three, recipe, batch, expressed as Unity fomulations, or
percentage by weight & with accompanying safety messages.
Comments about the glaze and such things as special instructions in
formulation or firing techniques are appreciated, and will be saved with th=
e
glaze recipes.
Please don't send bibliographies or suggestions of multiple books to read o=
n
the subject. I don't find this useful. Personal experience by other potters
tells me so much more.
I'm thinking about splitting my blog site into two, one for portfolio (the
current one) and one for glazes, like Edouard and John Britt do. When I tes=
t
the glazes, it will be using specific materials. For example "EPK" not
"kaolin" and "365 mesh silica" NOT "flint", etc., mesh size of clays is
important if there are several sizes from the manufacturer.
And please don't spam ClayArt with these replies, just reply to me.
Also if someone knows how to toggle blogger to make one big blog page, that
would be great. I still haven't figured that one out yet.

"To me, human life in all its forms, individual and aggregate, is a
perpetual wonder: the flora of the earth and sea is full of beauty and of
mystery which seeks science to understand; the fauna of land and ocean is
not less wonderful; the world which holds them both, and the great universe
that folds it in on everyside, are still more wonderful, complex, and
attractive to the contemplating mind." - Theodore Parker, minister,
transcendentalist, abolitionist (1810-1860)
