Do we have any German speaking potters on our list? Is anyone out there
who can translate the following Glaze recipe into American equivalents? I
got it from the book Rakuvaria (pg 72) which is not available in English.

Thanks, Ursula

You want to talk to Edouard Bastarche, who has written a book on translating
ceramic stuff to other languages. edouardb@sorel-tracy.qc.ca

I don't speak German, but my guess is that the glaze is:

Quarz 75 gr Silica 75
> Kaolin 25 gr EPK 25
>
> Alkaliborsilikat Fritte 54 gr borosilicate frit (like maybe
3134) 54
> Alkali Fritte 16 gr Alkaline frit (dunno which
one) 16
> Kalifeldspat 6 gr Potash Feldspar
6
> Betonit 4 gr Bentonite
4
> Kreide 16 gr NOT A CLUE IN THE WORLD
> Quarz 4 gr Silica
4

I bet someone will tell me if I'm right.
