Anne Worner has again been developing and testing glazes. She has now
developed a very nice Black Satin Cone 10 oxidation glaze. It is very
stable with a good mix of fluxes and plenty of alumina and silica. Cobalt
leaching is less than 0.05 mg/l (the detectable limit). I'm posting it
with her permission. Anne has also supplied photos of the glaze on her
porcelain pots both with and without the cobalt (it is a black/brown
without the cobalt). You can see them on my site at:

indifference before them depends upon their natures, and their natures
are inevitably projections of the minds of their creators." Bernard
