Hi All!

I have recently setup a home studio.....and already have some questions
(surprise!!!). Thanks in advance for your help!

I've been working with Laguna's R-2 clay and bisque firing it to ^03. And
then glaze firing to ^05.

I really like the colors and look that the spectrum low stone glazes (900's=
)
provide. BUT, the glazes have been crazing immediately after they come out
of the kiln. Anything I could be doing wrong in the firing process?

Can anyone recommend a better commercial clay body (good for throwing) that
will have a better fit with the spectrum low stone series?

Or maybe, a series of commercial glazes that are similar to the low stone
that will fit better with the R-2 clay?

Please respond to megancosullivan@gmail.com

Thanks so much!

Megan
