Pick yourself up off the floor. I am not using a walker yet. StIll teaching high school art-26 years, and still making pots-35+ years. Anyway, here are the two glazes. The active ingredient is bone ash, which is a flux and causes the glaze to be a beautiful buttery white.

SmartsyArtsy Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJR! After 55 it is "legal" and expected that you celebrate 1 week for every year over 55, so you've got 2 more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
