A friend of mine in Michigan has asked me, to ask the group, if anyone
remembers a glaze named Kuentzel? She didn't give me a lot of information =
about
it. All she said was =22Ask what tempurature (cone) it fires to?=22 and =
=22What the
ingredience are?=22. Seems she used it years ago, liked it, but can only =
remember
the name. And, not even sure of the spelling. But, she said, the name =
sounded
like the way she spelled it for me, to give to you. Thanks, any help would =
be
appreciated. From Sue here in northeast WI. getting ready to go to the =
Upper
Michigan State Fair in August, where a group of us will be doing Raku. If =
anyone
has any brilliant, flashy Raku glaze recipe's or techniques to share I sure
would appreciate them.
