Hi Tia and all!
Last Wednesday I got from my American niece the wonderful book of V.C. For
me it is a big help although some of the materials in his book didn`t pass
the Gibraltar Strait -yet I can learn a lot from it . V.C. gives you tools
to understand glazing with or without a glaze program. For the meantime you
can go to the site of "ceramic web" http://art.sdsu.edu/ceramicsweb/ and
search for ^ 04 glazes
good luck
