Peter,
I was looking through my,"potters hand book", by Bernard leach and found
some intresting glazes on page 170. Bernard has some intresting glazes
listed as Hamada, however I did not see one listed as Hamada green.
The tea-Dust may be what you are looking for and it's compsition consists of
Raw ochre and medium ash in fifty fifty proportions. When fired to cone
eight oxidation the book suggests,Frosted opaque olive green, and fired in
reduction- Greener. Other notes include "this is an example of opacity due
to ash crystallization'.
I am also intrested in Hamada glazes and would be intrested in
knowing what you get from other artist, so please write back if you get
something Different. Glad to swap info. one more time. Douglas Adams
