Hi Ann, Bill et All,
Yes Bill, those glazes were by Richard Behrens.
They're in his fabulous little glaze projects book, pg 55.
One day I was discussing glaze problems with Juan Aguilera,
the head glaze chemist at Laguna Clay west.
He said that Behrens' "Glaze Projects"
had helped him more than any other book.
Needless to say, I bought it right away.
There's really something about seeing and playing with
all those formulas for all those temp ranges.
It gave me a historical context, and helped me get an
intuitive feel for what glaze chemistry is all about.
Not sure if it's still in print from CM, but one can buy it used
on Amazon for about 6 bucks! Gold...
