Hi,

Up until recently I've been able to access archived articles at
ceramicsmonthly.com - now I can't unless I register...to register you
have to send them an email, but the email keeps getting returned with a
failure notice....grrrrrrrrrr......

Does anyone have the recipe for the black engobe (or maybe a black
glaze?) that Richard Busch published in his article on Cone 6
Wood-Fired Look Glazes (February 2003)?

Thanks,
Jonathan in DC
where it is a surprisingly cool, clear day for August!

edge."
