I am a new potter doing an apprenticeship at a local pottery school. I am
having the time of my life, but so much of the pottery world is new and confusin
to me. I would love some help with getting vibrant blues, greens and purples
glazes and ones that will overlap nicely on each other to get interesting relief
I have access to low fire electric kilns and to a high fire gas kiln (cone 10-1
reduction. Any recipes and suggestions would be hugely appreciated. By the way
what is floating blue ?????? It sound interesting...
Thanks in advance for any help.

Barbara, if someone gives you a good blue or green glaze, would you
please share this with me?
I'm a student at Indiana Unv. and have excess to a beautiful blue
green call green eyes. I will get this for you next week,if I can.
I also run and art league and do not have any good glazes in stock...
do you know where I may find some tried and proven glazes that are
really pretty? Ellen from Indiana
