A studio potter years back, Paul soldner shared his method:
Studio Potter Magazine, June 1994, Vol. 22 #2, ran a beautiful and
sensitive letter from Paul Soldner relating his experience with the remains
of
a loved one. It was in the very last few pages of the magazine. The essence
of the article: He had a friend ball mill the
larger pieces, after sieving. He then used the milled and the fine material
50/50 with a known glaze (temmoku, celadon, raku). He used this glaze to
slip
trail onto a bisked pot. Then he overglazed it with the base glaze. It
worked,
even in raku. Wherever the ash was, there was a bluish effect. Paul
pondered...was this his aura?
