Below are articles from Ceramics Monthly/other magazines that communicate glazes, recipes, techniques, and just raw information that I hope to provide as a resource for those in need.
Soon to come (in addition to my CM articles) will be a series of glaze lists with corresponding color tiles. Currently in development: -Tracking Reflectance Profiles of Glazes -The Mechanism of Flashing -Self-flashing Cone 6 Clay -Super secret glaze/clay projects. (SSssshhhh) |
