Hello Calmers, who are you?

I would suggest having a look at Brian Gartsides web site for lots
of ideas on cracked earth glazes. We did a lot of experiments with 2 and 3
ingredient glaze mixes at one of his workshops and got all kinds of cracks.
Beads too.

You can do a search in the archives for plenty of cone 6 shino (I feel you
must mean)
receipes. My favorite way to search is through Google, clayart cone 6
shino, should give you plenty of ideas.
