Hi Mel-
Congrats on the CM article. The pots all look great- the red and
black
bowl is spectacular, and the yellow is amazing. I wonder if you
would share the glaze recipe for that puppy. I looked, but I didn't see
anything
with 10 ochre in it. I'm jonesing to get started testing that....
cheers

It'd look great in a wood kiln, don't you think John?

I also find that iron yellow to be spectacular. However,
I would doubt that the recipe could be shared just now.
There is a big show coming up of these pots; a great deal
of research has gone into making them, and in addition the
individual recipes are not really Mel's. I understand that
the glazes were shipped to hiim, and he made
various (hundreds) of tests, combinations, re-combinations.....on many
different clay bodies....
This research has been a joint effort. It's taken a very long
time indeed. It may be a while before it can be shared. Also - Otto Heino
got a huge sum from some Japanese for a similar Chinese yellow, if you all
remember. Mel is
amazingly generous. But, ummm - there's a lot to consider,
here.
