I think I have exhausted several resource sites trying to find more
glazes for ^10 reduction to be applied to brown or red clays. I found a
white mamo on the N.C. pages, which I love on dark brown clay. Also,
I've used the Midnight (sent to me my June Perry) on red clay and found
it striking ... and in some areas of my kiln (sometimes) the cracked
shino on dark brown is very impressive... one rather poorly formed bowl
(chosen as a test pot) is incredible; I'll never part with it for I just
love looking at it and patting it...you would, too... even when this
glaze isn't "very" impressive, it still looks good. Any other
suggestions? I love these clays but would like to do more with them.
Thank you.

In the Mojave able to take a deep breath now that I've bookmarked the
'98 Strictly Functional Pottery National to be admired at leisure all
year ... I particularly enjoy so many wood, salt and soda fired pots
this time. Jean really does a job! As did Mr. MacKenzie whom I think of
as His Royal Highness as I continue to reread the book "Warren
MacKenzie" by Lee/Lewis over&over. My young friend, Shauna, took it on
the plane to Alfred and read aloud from it to HER #1 Support
Person-in-training ... she returned it in tip-top condition...being of
fine pottercharacter as she is.
