that can be given...a lot more.
in fact, for most glazes, one could write a small
book.
specific gravity.
oxyprobe readings.
better chemistry descriptions. use only the periodic
table symbols..as that means you are a smarty pants chemist.
wear a white lab coat when making glaze.
in some cases, it is just easier if the folks
would come to my studio, have me make the
pots for them, dip them in glaze while they
watch, and i will fire them.
put their names on the bottom and they can take them
to the next art fair.

bill, i fry the blue gills first in a very rare
olive oil from greece. then grind in a stone
flour grinder. i left that out on purpose.
it is the secret of the blue. without the oil, the
glaze turns green.

And here I thought slow cooling caused it to turn green.
