Thinking there might be potters out there with less aptitude or experience
in developing glazes than I, I thought I would share an experience I had.
You old-timers can just go on to reading the next post and ignore this one.
Anyway, being tired of the same old glazes I had here and with the need for
a shiner glaze I pulled out a glaze I hadn't used in a year with a dull
satin matt finish. To 8oz. of this already mixed glaze I added up to 2 tbs.
of plain unwashed but sieved fireplace ash, mixed well and now have a shiney
and lighter glaze.

be while the wind is
making sure it is in on the decision

I found this in the archives and was wondering if this would work for low
fire glazes (04-06). I have a huge bucket of fireplace ash from cleaning
it yesterday.
