I always order my opulence glazes from the VERY nice folks at Mid South Ceramics in Nashville 615 242 0300- and call them frequently with questions about why the glaze settles/runs/does anythingatall that I think is strange. I'd call them even if you don't buy your opulence glaze from them (although if axner has an 800 number and that's an issue. . . ). Not only do they answer questions, but I went in, bought a bunch of glazes, forgot a few, and called back the next day to say "oops." They shipped the forgotten glazes to me, free of charge, via ups. Now THOSE are nice folks. Only drawback is that they aren't open on Saturdays.
And about grits- the naysayers have never had REAL grits, I'd imagine, with butter and cream and cheese and garlic in a "souffle," or as in shrimp and grits- the famous low-country rendition mentioned by julie. I'm not sure, but the plain, watered-down, soupy grits may just be a ploy to keep those suspicious away from the nectar of the gods.

I knew there was another way or two to have grits. My husband dumps a can,
boils it and eats it, and I say "huh?". That way, I won't touch the stuff.
I'm new, I do non-fired painting. I am not good at the glazes. There are no
potters around here, and no ceramic places, except those that sell raw, or
already fired. I've been working a little with cold clay to make up for lack of
variety. Cold clay seems heavier. I do mainly Christmas stuff, and sell the
finished products. Ornaments and things for under trees and on mantles. A peon on
a list of artists. Jan
