Looking for Garzio Blue Ash


Skrej

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm trying to locate a glaze recipe which I lost.  If anyone has it, or has any suggestions as to where else to query, I'd appreciate the assist. 

The glaze in question is known as Garzio Blue Ash, aka Garzio Fake Ash.  It's not really an ash glaze, but just has a high percentage of Albany Slip to mimic the runny effect.

I'm trying to locate it more for sentimental value than anything else, so I'm not interested in alternatives, of which I've found plenty.

 

Thanks in advance,

“My pots are not such as to make the view­
er stand up and shout in excitement because
of their novelty or aberration from the norm,”
Angelo concluded. “But I cannot imagine a
greater delight and sense of accomplishment
than to have someone use one of my pots.”
