Hello again,
I found two websties where there was info (some too
simplistic but that's fine, too) where you can find
very basic terminology and some of
the..structures..?..of basic glazes.
They are:
www.lourdes.ede/SYLLABI/spring05/chemistry/CHM%20165/chapter4A-ceramic_files
I hope that's right since my pen gave out. I have it
saved on my husband's computer. I wonder if "ede" has
to be "edu".

(daypatth??)
It's simple, but when you're confused about kaolins,
ball and OM4 stuff, this may shed some light as well.
What you wrote in this email is EXACTLY where I am:
read much, want to make a nice glaze, figure it out
and expand from there. Thanks and keep exchanging
info!!
Have a sunny glaze, Marianne
