Dear Vivek,
The sewer pipes I spoke of were all fired to at least 1250 centigrade
and morelikely 1300 centigrade.
We do not salt glaze as we are intown and salt glaze would not make us
good neighbors. I do not know where you would study salt glazing, but
perhaps some on the clay art list can offer some suggestions.
How about it clayarters, where can this person study slat glazing?

Call Mile Hi Ceramics in Denver, they can tell you there, that's about the
closest place I can think of.
