hello
I have been reading very interesting posts from the masters here .
I have a friend working on terracotta clay in india .
We have searched high and low but have not found any glazes on the net .
Most glazes seem to be fired slightly higher .
So we were wondering if there are any web sites or people working in
terracotta glazes
thanking you in advance

Annapoorna, Linda's handouts is one of the best. It not only has
majolica, but also includes transparent glazes and terra sig.

Enjoy!
