Hello fellow single firers,

New to the list and enjoying reading many folks
emails. I'm pretty much a shino & ash guy but would
like to extend my color pallet. I was wondering if
anyone has a good oil spot and/or black tenmoku, and
a good green or oribe glaze. My clay body is heavily
grogged and I glaze bone dry. Any good single fire
glazes are appreciated. I fire gas or in my Anagama.
Thank you!

Tony, Duluth, Minnesota
