Hello All.
I have recently come across a type of glaze that I would like to know some more about, I have put up a picture of it on my Blog. I wanted to put it in a photo album at clayart group on yahoo, but there isn't anything going on there??
Please, any info on this type of glaze is welcome.

Also, surfing for glaze recipes I came across Ababi's glaze photos on this site:

Has anyone thought of maybe collecting and printing his glaze recipes, and sell them for charity? He was so active and did such a good job with the glazes, so I just thought that it was a shame that it would go to waist.
I'm also pleased to see that his album hasn't been deleted.

I often get the opportunity to teach workshops and usually focus on
creating wild and "obnoxious" textures. Thanks to the participants of
those workshops I have been able to assemble quite a lot of images.
Overloading glazes with selected materials can result in very
dramatic surfaces.
There are a few articles here
http://www.gartside.info/clayglazeintro.htm and many references and
images throughout the site that might interest you.
There is a page devoted to the Texture Poster/Charts too.
There are no immediate answers (you probably know that) but very
useful starting points if you are looking to save time and prepare to
try a few very interesting surfaces at a variety of temperatures.

Dear Iben,
Ababi's tireless curiosity, sharing and achievements are happily not wasted
because potters use his information everyday. It is a great loss to our
community that he died so untimely. However, his pure joy of discovery and
telling has left us a large legacy in the archives and in his web pages.
You could contact his widow with your idea to raise charity money from
Ababi's glaze notes. I do not have her information, but there are other
Clayarters that could help you.
Brian's experiments fueled my interest in making textured glazes. His page
is really inspirational and he is wonderful to talk to. I mixed loads of
50 50 tests with the chemicals in my studio. I always used one fixed
material, say Kaolin, and mixed 50% of everything else I had. Many of these
results are either in my website or Yahoo album. Dry crater glazes, crawls
and high lichens are all achieved with 50 50 or 50 25 25 mixes.
Dolita and Sandy M. are making very exciting tests. I am sure you can
contact them and hear what they are mixing.
A jumping off mixture for the glaze you pictured from an Israeli show could
include borax, ochre and zircon, or red clay instead of the ochre.
It will be dry and bubbly, but after that, try different proportions.
Nu er det jul igen...
I have a lot to do so back to the studio and try to tell my customers why I
do not make postbox red glaze.
Best regards from Alisa in Denmark
