Hello Fellow ClayArt Recipients!

Has anyone used either silver oxide or gold oxide as a glaze or slip mineral?
I realize these are rare (and costly) oxides, but I have access to these
minerals, and want to know how I can include them in my recipies.

Thanks!

Here is a tid bit on gold oxide
It is used to produce brilliant reds in glass
I would suggest posting to a glass group for more info on percentages and temp.
range.
