Well, Ben Shelton, you might try the Watts formula:
0.4 KNaO; 0.3 ZnO; 0.3 CaO; 0.3-0.6 Al2O3; 2.5-3.5 SiO2. This
Seger forms a eutectic around Cone 03, perhaps a bit higher. See Page 170
first edition Parmelee's "Ceramic Glazes". There are other low/med fire
Segers cited too.

Dear Tom,
I find your advice, very good on glazes....I need to write a essay on
different potters.I would love to write one on you? All I would need
is apr. 1 page on How and why you got into pottery....What you like
about it, and what you really enjoy about it etc. etc. Thanks Ellen
