Cleaning out the studio and I ran across these glazes ( from a Jr.
College ) using Albany clay and remember that someone was interested in
some recipes. These are for C/7 and I don't remember having used them,
or whether it was oxidation or reduction, so do a test first!! They
were fired in a gas kiln, though, so it could be neutral.
Remember....... Manganese Dioxide is poisonous. Use caution when
handling. Mike Gordon
