Hi all!
I was certain that I had saved a post or two suggesting that a solution
of gertsley borate or a commercial frit, sprayed onto the surface of
unglazed ware, would produce a low-sheen surface when fired. Alas! (as
usual) I can't find it anywhere.
If you use such a technique, could you reply to me directly? I am not
especially partial to glaze on my personal work, but I am finding that
the raw, matured surface is difficult to maintain and clean in a dusty
environment like Eastern Washington.
Any and all suggestions are welcome!
Erin.

We (the royal we), our Guild, sometimes makes a solution of half clear glaze
and half soluble wax resist. We paint it on but because of the the resist,
it's impossible to get a very thick coating. Seems to work well for
agateware type pots and so forth (cone 6).

Hi Erin,
I have used a spray of colemanite as a cone 06 glaze, it works but it is
hard to control. A frit if you find the right one would probably be
better. Call Laguna 1-800-338-8846 and ask for their glaze expert. He'll
know which frit.
