Asta,
I am not familiar withthat particular glaze, however you can modify any
clear glaze. If you add 5% of tin oxide you get an opaque glaze. If you add
1% or less of cobalt, copper or4% of iron you get a blue, green or brown
glaze. If you add 2 or 3% or rutile to the glaze before adding a coloring
oxide the glaze will have much more character.With stains you can do the
same thing. You just have to experiment with the quantities of what you add
to 100% or 100 grams of the original clear glaze to arrive at what you
like. Good luck, Mia in hot ABQ.
