Hi Everyone,
I've recently retired after 30 years as a cop and am now going back to my first love. I did a throwing apprenticeship at Prinknash Abbey in Gloucestershire for several years and then taught ceramics before joining the police. I've got a studio in my garage and have started experimenting with crystaline glazes and am well and truly hooked. Very much a begginer so this forum is a god send! When I get some pieces worth sharing I will post them but at the moment successes are few and far between.
Regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick -
Posting pictures of pieces "not worth sharing" will probably get you lots of advice about improving them -

Hi does any body know why most crystaline glaze recipies seem to require firing at a high stone ware temperature and actually growing the crystals at a lower temperature.Why not just grow low and miss all the running and sticking to the kiln shelf?I notice that not all crystaline glazes are runy .I want to develop glazes for orton cone 4/5 which is the temperature I fire my current range at.Any ideas?It seems hard to find recipes for lower stone ware high earthenware temperatures.I can get my standard glaze to become an Averturine glaze if I fire it down slowly from cone 4.But I want a razel dazel knock your socks off kind of look.
