Hi All,
Being new to clay art I'll have to find a guild to join and a class to =
learn faster
and correctly.
But in the mean time.........

When factories that make everything from dinner ware - coffee mugs by
many thousands of pieces. What is the glaze they use? It must be quite =
simple
easy to apply and fire to save labor and time.

My point is....isn't there simple glazes that look nice and glossy, but =
don't=20
take a chemist to figure it out?

I would like to experiment with airbrushed stains and blending different
colors, but then just put a nice gloss glaze over it.

Any tips or links to read?

New guy thanks you,
John

John, I don`t want to "p;ug" one glaze over another because ,pst of ht ewell
known glazes are rather fool proof if the directions and correct cone are
applied.
bur i find Opulence are econimal in dry form and very nice results.
They do need screening in dry form.
