Greetings:

Ol' bonehead me put together a glaze test that used Xavier's base and
lost the recipe for it.

I've found a recipe for a "Xavier ^6 Satin matte," but somehow I feel
that this isn't the one.

I've searched the Clayart database, but with no luck. =20

If anybody out there can help with a base glaze SPECIFICALLY named
"Xavier's," I'd really appreciate it.

Yes=85 I AM much more careful now in recording my test information.

Thanks yet again,

Jimmy

CLAYART Digest - 26 Oct 2001 to 27 Oct 2001 (#2001-300)Jimmy,

On John Hesselberth's website, there is a glaze posted and analyzed as =
being
foodsafe. It's called "Xavier's Warm Jade Green".
Maybe the base (without the green) is what you're looking for?
It's a Cone 6 glaze.
The URL for his site is below:

http://www.frogpondpottery.com =20

Click on hyperlink for "glaze stability" and then on "Click here" for =
tested recipes.
There is Xavier's green attributed to Val Cushing's handbook (satin =
matte) and=20
also Revised Xavier from Ron Roy (glossy).

There is alot of good info there and John and Ron are making a book too.
(No, I don't get compensated for advertising).
I tried to cut-and-paste the recipes here but their chart form probably =
would be
unreadable from Clayart.

Of course, by now you've probably found your misplaced notes...
