Peter -
There is also:
http://digitalfire.com/
They sell software as well, but there is a lot of info on the site.
There are also several other software packages out there including
"shareware".

There is also Ian Currie's page (his system is great):

Can anyone recommend any good books or websites which offer good information on Glazes. I know next to nothing now and my old college ceramics book doesn't help much. I am wanting to learn as much as possible, eventually how to develop/calculate recipes.

Thanks much,
Peter

Hi Pete,
I am only new to ceramics and studying full-time at the moment. We have
been using "Stoneware Glazes - A Systematic Approach" by Ian Currie which
is a fabulous book for learning to test and develop glazes. It also teaches
how to calculate recipes and convert between recipes and formulae. I have
found it an invaluable learning resource. It is an Australian publication
ISBN 0 9589275 2 9 but I believe that it may be available through The
Potters Shop in the USA.
Hope this helps

The Daniel Rhodes book has just been updated (within 2+ years)
by robin hopper. I like it and have the newest edition.
You can get virtually any book, looks like new
for used prices from http://www.powells.com
They send them to you cheaper than you can buy local.
i live in Georgia and order from Portland oregon powells
all the time. They do have everything and are legends in bookselling.
Best wishes,
diane mead
