Is Lori Doty still on clayart? I'd like to ask her about the following
recipe in the clayart archives for a cone 6 red. Because people
remarked on the possible instability of the glaze due to it not having
any clay in it, I was going to add about 10 grams of OM4 ball clay to
the base recipe below. When I had a very runny earth glaze from red
earth excavated from John Goode's ranch in Elgin county, I added OM4 and
it stopped the runs. Not sure if it will help the recipe below but I
can try.
