Thanks again everyone for sharing your knowledge. Uuurgh.... so much to learn. Definitely not a generic "one size fits all" kind of thing with glazes & clay bodies is it? Everything I've learned so far has been by spending hours on the internet, researching, watching videos (clayflix, yay), forums like this one, trial & (a lot of) error & testing, testing, testing. Any classes or workshops are only available in the major cities so not an option for me. Sometimes I feel like a one legged woman in an arse kicking competition . But I love the process & I love ceramics & I wont give up!
