For fun and experimental experiences, here is my published article on TOTAL
WET FIRING. This "eBook" is free! Just scroll to the bottom of :
www.R2D2u.com opening page and download. The B&W photos are lacking clarity,
but you will find how we went through nearly 100 pieces in a "Teacher's
Workshop" to alter the thermal charcter of clay and thansfer
a hand built or wheel thrown pots directly to a pre-heated kiln for "glaze"
firing!

Subject: Re: Glass in Pottery?
very often i have melted glass in the bottom of dishes and in the
indentation of knobs. i used to use crushed discarded botles but
found i had a lot of cracks due to difences in the glass coeff of
expansion. now i buy "frits" from Bullseye glass. all this means is
finely ground glass and all the bu7llseye glass haqs the same coe so
they can all be mixed. i hae gotten some verry interresting effects
using diffents colors. but one must be careful not to use too much as
tthe expansion will cause the pot to crack. so start with a little
and then increase to get the best result.
