Hi Ivor,
I just received Greg Daly's book (per your recommendation on Clayart) and I
was wondering about the process he shows on pages 94-5 where the glazes are
applied on to tiles vertically and then horizontally. He mentions that a
medium can be added to the glaze to aid brushability. Do you add anything
to your glazes in order to do this type of testing? Or am I wrong in
assuming you are doing that sort of testing? And yes, I know I should read
the book from start to finish but I like to skip ahead when no one is
looking;-)
Best regards,

And you really do need to wear your glasses when you get on and off that
bathroom scale five times.
