Rebekah Krieger Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I feel like I am reading another language when I read glaze recipes written in this form (see pic) Is there a basic chemistry for glazemakers book to help me decipher these? I feel like i should know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBaymore Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Clay and Glazes for the Potter (newest edition) by Daniel Rhodes and updated by Robin Hopper is out of print... but is the book I used as an "intro" text for my materials class for years. It is a good gentle introduction to the subject. It has a chapter that explains that Seger Molecular Calculation stuff. GO to the Digitalfire website and download Insight software... free demo version. Then use the tutorials on the website to learn not only how to use the software... but that will ALSO get you to understand the ideas BEHIND the idea. best, .....................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebekah Krieger Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 cool - thanks!! I am not planning to, but have you tried recreating any of the glazes in the Chinese glazes book (by nigel wood)? Using that method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
