Hi.
Try www.gartside.info. There's a lot there. (New
Zealand..I'm ready to go.)
Then try history of ceramics, which is
www.claypatchstudio.com (daypath?)
I don't remember the other one
(www.lourdes.edu...ede?)
Some have a lot, other just a bunch of space-waste,
but with 'that one" little piece of info we
glaze-searchers need.
Keep sending/asking, will you? I have an idea for a
chart-type-thing as I am plowing along.
Have a muddy day, Marianne
