Has anyone had any good results making glazes from paper and/or cardboard
ash? I have an unlimited supply of cardboard and office paper to use and i
am just now starting to make up some tests with the ash. Also, does anyone
have an idea of how the chemical analysis may differ in this type of ash as
compared to hardwood ash (given the fact that composition varies anyway, but
is there any basic differences that could be expected)? Thanks

My experiences indicate that paper ash is nothing
like wood ash. I learned this hard way, by burning
paper and cardboard in my wood kiln. The result
was rough pieces of unmelted flyash stuck on pots.
Most paper, so I'm told, has large amounts of clay
in it, so what's left over after burning is much more
refractory than straight wood ash.

As far as I know most, if not all the paper ash, at least when it is
white, comes from the pre added kaolin.

Probably quite a bit of kaolin in paper ash. It's used a lot in papermaking.
Probably take a lot of paper to make a little ash.
