household product glazes?

Hi all,
I recently heard about an article where a potter used basic
household ingredients to make glazes. It was something like so
much toothpaste, soap, etc. The potter telling me about it couldn't
remember if it was in CM or Claytimes or something else. Anybody
out there familiar with it? I thought it might be fun to have my
advanced ceramics students test some of it out and get "cross
curriculum" with some advanced science students. TIA!

Peace & Prayers,
Quentin
