Much as bamboo is nice common cane, is a bit refractory, high in silica
I think. Palm fronds are apparently loaded with soda, They give a salt
glaze appearance when used as fuel. Someone should start importing
MAshiko slip again into the US.

Lance,
>> Does anyone have any specific for suitable plant glazes to use in ceramics. I've used bamboo ash, oak ash and rice chaff ash so far. I'm interested in trying ash made from cherry tree leaves, as it they are burnt everywhere in Japan at the end of summer. I am living in Japan. Anyone interested in Japanese ceramics or ceramics tools send me an email. Maybe I can help you source something. <
You can use just about any ash. The bamboo and rice chaff are very high
in silica as are most grass ashes. Test, test test. Different ashes give
different characteristics and there are some people who like go use
really specific ashes. I did a lot of work with simple ash and clay
mixes in college. My source was a barrel I left at the local wood stove
store. I just went by and collected it every-so-often. The burned all
kinds of things but I didn't care that it was mixed. The fact that it
was a largish barrel and I mixed it well before using ensured that it
was a fairly stable supply. Probably about as stable as anyother ceramic
material, aside from a frit.
Speaking of sources, do you know were I could find a inexpensive source
for the flat cords use to tie up pottery tomobako boxes?

Does anyone have any specific for suitable plant
glazes to use in ceramics. I've used bamboo ash, oak
ash and rice chaff ash so far. I'm interested in
trying ash made from cherry tree leaves, as it they
are burnt everywhere in Japan at the end of summer. I
am living in Japan. Anyone interested in Japanese
ceramics or ceramics tools send me an email. Maybe I
can help you source something.
