ctedin Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Just wondering if there is any fellow artist out there who might have Anne Hirondelle's soda ash glaze formulation? I know that she has gone another direction completely with her work, and in fact posted it in a Ceramics Monthly a long, long time ago. I used to use this a great deal for large sculptures and it gave a very great dry bronze-like finish. A bit hard to control, but that's why I liked it. On a large scale, the results were wonderful, both in oxidation and reduction. Thanks in advance, folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
