Hi ya'll from THE USC in South Carolina. I am writing for a friend.
I am hopein someone will know what I am talking about cause I do not.
My friend wants a glaze cone 02 to 010. Dry surface texture broken or
bark like or pitted. The drier the better. He wants to use a bold
color under to show through the breaks in glaze.

Any help with be greatly appreciated. Because this man controls the kilns
and firing schedules I will need for my college projects. I hope to graduate
aleast by 2040. When you work full time it takes awhile.

Please e mail harrels@vm.sc.edu

Thank you

I just saw a couple 06 glazes like this at a supply place yesterday- looked
like tree bark. Don't remember the mfr. but any large supply house should
have it I expect. As far as make it yourself, I've been collecting the lichen
glaze formulas being shared here on the list, but haven't tested any yet and
most are higher fire than the 02 -010 you requested

Hi Marie,

Have your kiln-controlling friend try this! It is definately dry, the
pieces I put it on were extremely tall & skinny. They fell over in the
kiln & didn't stick to the walls, shelves or each other!. They didn't
break either - lucky me!

Frit 3269 25%
Barium 10%
Neph Sy 25%
EPK 10%
Zinc 5%

(I got it from Patrick Hilferty, who got it from Jim Haggerty, who based it
on a slip from Robert Sperry)

finished. Sometimes I hate that part!)
