To: Ron Roy
Thank you Ron,
Seriously, Thank you so Much. Not just for the help with SKY BLUE but that
book with John has taught me a lot and I still have sooooo much to learn.
It's fun when you can mix up a glaze and have some success when you are just
starting to experiment. I have been a student potter since 1987 mostly in
the recreation center venue and some workshops along the way. It has not
been untill recently that I took it a step further and began a studio in my
house. Glaze mixing and firing was the piece I have been missing in my
journey and your book is amazing!
Thanks to all who posted with suggestions and fixes for my mistake. I have
a nice batch now ,of Bright Sky Blue! And I learned the difference between
my frit 3124 and fritt 3134 and I have more of an idea of what was missing
and added more of. Not completely but better grip. It's funny how a
mistake will make you work at a solution and understanding that I would not
have done if I wasn't sitting with a 7,000g bucket of "yuk". I am motivated
by money and do not like to waste any of it I didn't like the thought
of throwing out a bucket of glaze.
Many thanks!
