=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Glaze=20Answer?=
Thanks to all who took a shot at a guess of the two ingredients in the dry
Yellow glaze....Believe it or not the ingredients are 50 EPK and 50 Ponderosa
Pine Ash (unwashed), that's it! (on stoneware) Paul Herman had the best guess
with Ash and Kaolin.
I have fired this glaze before (in L.A.) and it came out brown to Mauve
Brown. Here In Pagosa Springs, CO I get this great yellow. I'm sure its the soil
contributing to the ash but not sure exactly. I've been told that the ranchers
around here claim that the grasses here are the highest is minerals, beneficial
to cattle, than any other place in Colorado....maybe something to that.
Any ideas?...Do you think this is unusual or am I easily impressed?
