ONLINE GLAZE COURSE LESSON SIX PART TWO
Dennis Carib blue gloss glaze
Cone 10-11 reduction or salt
Blue glazes sell. How often have we heard this? Recently on clayart there
has been much discussion of the famous floating blue glaze, which is
probably the best selling ceramic glaze ever, invented.
I think I will patent or at least copyright it, if I did I would make either
a small fortune or go mad keeping track of all the law suits.
Dennis blue glaze appears to be very high in silica. Is this correct?
Let us see what several computer-based analyses can tell us about this
glaze.
In our next lesson we shall consider the floating blue glaze problem.
