Thanks, Lili, for the feedback. I will look in my library for more info. I
have had this recipe in the perennial paper pile on my desk that I pulled
from somewhere off the internet. Don't know what temp to fire at, but I will
post it here in case there is comment, or someone else wants to explore.
What's the difference between it and an engobe or slip? I imagine it is not
just a surface cover, more integrated with clay body emerging from the
interaction?
