Great Glaze Recipes
You asked for it! Refer to this new department in each issue of Clay Times for recipes covering glazes, slips, and clay
bodies for all types of firing. All but the last recipe are given in gram totals; a 5-gallon storage bucket will hold each of
the glaze batches. Be sure to test each glaze first, as results will vary with different clay bodies and firing conditions!
