My apologies if this is a redundant question... I have been following this
list for only the past few months.
I am considering trying a bit of glaze testing at ^6, however my experience
has been primarily at low temp ranges and am wondering if there is a website
or book with a starting list of base glazes at ^6 (or ^10 with the solution
to alter for ^6) that anyone might recommend.
Thanks and please respond to: RidgeviewS@aol.com

Hey, all I get to use is cone 6.
What exactly are you in the mood for at Cone 6. My pallette is limited and
not all are tested, but I have had pretty good success. If you want any, just
ask for a particular and I'll give it.
One great book is: Ceramic Formulas: The complete Compendium. Also, check out
old Ceramics Monthlys They have plenty

Hi JM
This is a post I sent to clayart a couple years ago (has it been that long?)
Hope it helps you get a start, testing can be lots of fun!

JMThom,
I have used this glaze thanks to Tony Hansen.
http://digitalfire.com/education/glaze/cone6.htm
This is a great starting place. Several links associated to this base
glaze.
Also the book, The Ceramic Spectrum is a great book and tons of help.
By Robin Hopper
Hope this helps! Norm! 8^o
