errr... and celadon question

I have something odd I can't help passing along. It's something
that doesn't have a whole lot to do with clayart (actually, you
have to have an incredible amount of imagination to say it does),
but it's funny. How many potters 'round here insist on Pepsi in
the studio? (meeeeeeee, as I frantically wave my hand around)
This site is interesting:

ALSO, what REALLY has to do with clayart...I have a glaze question.
I have a celadon recipe problem...And, uh, PART of the problem is I
am not sure if I can find the recipe (correctly) anymore. No
matter how much flocculant I seem to put in, it settles like a ROCK
after a period of time...I mean, after about a month of use, the
glaze will just DROP to the bottom after it's been mixed three
seconds ago. (did everyone follow me on that?) I absolutely adore
the glaze, and I was wondering if anyone had any other good celadon
recipes for cone 10... I'm having a hard time deciphering the
recipe card, as someone managed to smudge red iron over the whole
thing and then ink in an incorrect recipe over it... and for the
life of us all, we can't figure out where the other copies went.

sigh! Thanks for any help...
