Even though I fire cone 10 reduction, I bought Ron and John's book. The
most important aspect of the book is understanding glazes, how to
formulate, manipulate, and adjust. There is something in this book for
everyone and I highly recommend it regardless as to the cone or
atmosphere being used.

With thanks to a great book.

Thanks for this Kathi,
We try to convince the higher fire potters that there is good info for them
too but it has been a hard sell. The next one will be different.

The next one ??? Hmmm...

I agree with Kathi here...I purchased the book mainly because I was on a
"recipe hunt", and at first all I looked at were the recipes. Well, after I
found enough recipes to satisfy me, and started actually READING the book I
discovered it's real strength was in providing information and background on
how I could modify recipes on my own. WHoooo wheeeeeee! Now I'm really
having fun and looking forward to developing Janice-specific glazes.
My favorite bits were a series of images demonstrating the effect of
increasing the concentration of rutile in a cobalt-containing glaze, and the
images comparing glaze appearance on tan stoneware vs. porcelain.
