Hi
Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous post.
I have already searched the internet for these types of glazes and I have
found quite a few. I find the internet an excellent source for glaze
recipies and whatnot...and now also for communication with other potters.
Maybe because I'm young or lazy or I figure there are already thousands of
glazes out there but I find no need to invent my own, especially in this age
of communication. I have a ton of recipies I'd share with pleasure and
tips. I understand glazes and how they are made but chances are someone
else somewhere has already figured it out and I can tweak it to my own
needs.
hmm...maybe newbies to the list aren't supposed to be so verbose! oh well!
Mary

Tons of recipes are like my tons of cookbook!
You are new so not addicted to Gerstly Borate. If you have a glaze program,
try your own base. if notI offer here two ways: Take a commercial low fire
glaze and add(when it is dry and you can weight it) frit. 3110 has a lot of
sodium, can be good. Try 10,20,30% or more.Can buy glaze from two
manufactures, so you have two bases. In ceramics, unlike cooking, mixing or
side by side of "tea and coffee" makes miracles! Try Frit as it is. My good
base has 70 frit, not available overther, and 30 wollastonit. try it, take
any frit and add another material. Be wild! I send here the formula of my
glaze perhaps you can use it.
