Criticism, is very important, especially when you work alone. You might fall in love with
your works and never improve them. You might make bad works and mistakenly think
these are masterpiece.
I think I have a breakthrough, I might be wrong. I want you to write either to the list or
to me, what do you think about my new ^6 electric kiln soda glazes. I shall add here
the recipes,and how to do them.
The point was not to make a false or fake. The point was how to create in my
conditions glazes I would never make otherwise.
Marta wrote me and explained me how she made that bowl and I decided to make a
high soda glaze add RIO in different amounts and apply thin by spraying
I add here from my site:
If you read it seep to the next part:
>I sent to Marta small light weight black paperclay bowl.
>Marta sent me a small groleg soda fired bowl. In the middle there was a sea shell.
>They passed each other somewhere above the Atlantic ocean, I believe more or less
near Atlantis: Never met.
>Learning that small, tiny wares can be beautiful and learning how to make them,
small thin,delicate, without wheels led to these works I uploaded here.
>This is only the beginning.
>I intend to make some of the advanced glaze tests on such bowls: These I know for
sure that will be good, not sure the tint.
>The next step I made a high soda glaze for ^6 ox.
>I added different amounts of RIO and to one test, copper oxide.
>I did not sieve the glazes.
>I will repeat some of the tests this time I will sieve them.

Not all the glazes are soda, I shall send you the two new ones, about the improved
calico I shall write latter.
I will go to the studio now, in a few hours it will be too hot there
So, thank you for your time
