----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Can anyone suggest or steer me in the right direction for some very basic
raku glazes for a new class that I will be offering at Colorado Mountain
College next semester. My syllabus was approved, we have a new Zen raku
kiln from Mile High Ceramics, and I'd like to query the list for a basic
white crackle, a stable copper matte glaze, and perhaps a blue or a green.
A base glaze would be trick and I can put the class to work on the tests.
My appologies if this is repetative.
Thanks in advance. You all know that I will reciprocate when possible.

Also you might want to check out Carl Baker's web page.
I don't have his web page adress handy but if you do a search on the
web in the search engine [I use yahoo] for Carl Baker he has an excellent
how-to on white crackle.
Good luck on your new venture.
