The first base was part of an earlier test on the way to get beaytiful crawling glazes .
You will see that the first glazes are going to a different direction than the rest of the
tests.
I cannot tell you what to do with the frit, perhaps you change it one for one with frit
3110 or similar, anyway these or " very decorative" if not sculptoral glazes.
I would concider "red clay" for any you have. I used it to get yelowish glazes
ULTR means ultrox

I tested it on K 3020of Fuch-Ton in two ways: as it is and over:

Also tested on buff motled stonware.

I fired to ^6 with mistekly soaking for 2-4 hours.
You can see how the SiC makes holes in the balls of glaze. On the other hand there is
black grog. Between the balls there is glossy glaze. The Childen whom I teach call the
crawlig glazes "Brain glaze".

I applied the SiC glaze on the greenware.
Glaze B and C were thorethical, based on my expirience.
