Hi again, I just put a few photos on Flickr, but they might not be in the Clayart section. To look at examples of my glazes, please look for "Sally's or "Sally Guger's pottery". on Flickr. Thanks.

5-6 glaze formulas? I'm developing glazes for a high school ceramics
program- I have many formulas that I have used for years- but they are not
easy for students to use- (the glazes need too exact of conditions as to
thickness and cone temperature.)

Sally,
We would love to help and will go through our recipe book but most of the
glazes we use don't fall into the "simple" category. The glazes you see on
our pots have been tailored to suit the clay and particular firing
schedules we use, plus some are double applications, etc. We do have a
good gloss white which works well in the cone 5-6 range and we'll put it
up on the site tomorrow (minus pictures, we used it for a special order of
20 slab built planters 5 years ago and didn't keep any of them or the
glaze,around!), plus anything else we find that we think might help you
out. Possibly some other folks have some simple glazes they could
contribute to your project as well?

Have fun with your high school ceramics classes!
