Could not attend the Ian Currie workshop and that was
tough. I had so many questions.
How about a discussion on compatible stoneware glazes where
you could put one over the other in layers or pours or
resist patterns. All I have worked with are Temoku and
kakis. Some basic information such as "Well you could take
base glaze and color it with oxides or stains then those
could work". Or maybe" don't use X type with Y because it
will run of the pot or blow off the pot" Or don't try this
and that with Shino. I know that is what testing is for but
some simple caveats could help us save some time. In
particular I am thinking of functional pots, realizing any
thing goes on decorative glazes on nonfunctional ware

Hi James,
Kia Ora, You may remember me, you bought me a coffee at Denver the day Tom and I
set out for Toronto.
In reply to your letter below I have had a lot of fun using the Glaze F in
Daly's book with several of his oxide additions. I pour these over a hi iron
glaze of the tessha variety and some of the combinations are very satisfying.
Rutile 8% added and one or two of the cobalt ones. If you write me I can tell
you all the ones I found satisfactory.
I pour them using a house hold watering can, a soup spoon, a slip trailer or a
baster. These all give different thicknesses and effects. The final is the holy
grail of the copper red which adds just that little bit of "je ne sait quoi".
Hey Tom did I get that right. Love to you all.
----Best Wishes Maggie----
