oxidation, satin-matt cream/white

21 dolomite

10 gerstley borate

9 spodumene

5 wollastonite

27 custer feldspar

12 nepheline syenite

16 kaolin

This is the very recipe I sought and thanks
to all who sent

me others. Actually this is from June Perry, who searched

on Google. A few days earlier, Marianne Lombard, found it

by searching the Archives. Marianne also, at my request, sent

a lesson in searching the archives by subject.

Thanks to all the rest of you. Ababi, C. Burkhart and Alisa

Clausen and anyone else whom I forgot to mention.

You are all far more organized than I am to have

either a mailbox with glazes or the ability to search via

engines etc. I have a fair collection of whitish glazes now

to test.

I did test the above in a terribly slow test kiln to make

sure, but I actually recognized it when I saw the recipe.

Can you imagine what life was like before Clayart? Shall

I tell you? That would be a mighty long post.

Too bad I don't have many items to glaze. I am following

a physical therapist's directions to let a torn ligament in

wrist heal. So I am still overdoing the wrist movements, weighing

glaze, cleaning spray booth, making order of a terribly messy

work area. Time flies when I am in studio, even doing boring

chores. Wedging clay or forming on wheel may be in the (near, I hope)

future.

Regards to all. Bacia
