Someone wanted c 6 glazes that contain woodash. These from my article =
'Twice Fired Glazes" in PMI all do.
The Red Art Mix here is an Albany Slip replacement I use, though I sure =
would try these with plain Red Art.
These glazes have not been lab tested for food safety.

At c.6 a rich, satiny caramel. Better maturity over slips. At c.04 a =

At c. 6 brown turning a hare's fur like gold where runny; more =
transparent over white slip, A bit too fluid, some nice blue =
streaks.Both fluidity and streakiness accentuated on light clay. At c.04 =
cloudy red on outside of pot, golden olive with fine black or dark blue =
streaks on inside. Very similar to Ari below.

These are named for great nieces and nephews, all of whom are too young =
to drink booze!
