Hello All,

Joined again after a long absence. I take classes at the Baltimore
Clayworks.

I'm trying to find or re-create a ^10 glaze I once had, called "Sea Foam
Zinc". Does this sound familiar to anyone? Does someone have a recipe
they might share?

Thanks sincerely,
Chris

Here's one we've got called Seafoam, probably from CM or John Britt....not
sure...but there's no zinc in it. It's very runny at c10. Can make some
incredible effects though.

Seafoam Green
Code Number: SEAFOAM Cone 10
=========================================

CUSTER FELDSPAR............. 36.00
GERSTLEY BORATE............. 20.00
SILICA...................... 28.00

Looks like it should work at ^6 if I'm interpreting my Glazemaster
correctly.
