disappointed in the contents. First of all the earthenware glazes=20
are primarily lead based. The ones that aren't use something called=20
B276 Leadless Transparent Glaze, which I have to assume is a=20
commercial glaze, but it is not identified anywhere that I can find.
Since I am primarily firing low-fire, I can't say much about the rest=20
of the glazes that are included. The pictures are beautiful of each=20
glaze listed. The book opens up flat nicely as well. However, I am=20
returning it since I can't find anything in it to use. =20
