So I am patiently awaiting the arrival of my kiln and have been reading Fara Shimbo's Crystalline Glazes Understanding the Process and Materials and it is all making sense to me except for those damned charts with all of the colorants listed for her glaze recipes. The top of the chart has the headings RO/R2O, R2O3, and RO2 and then the colerants listed under those headings have decimal point numbers which in my mind don't relate to the percentage parts for the main glaze components. Sorry to be so dense, but I can't find an explanation in the book or on the web. Can anyone explain?
On the positive side, my partner and I got the garage cleaned out today and the electrician is coming tomorrow morning to run the electrical connection for the kiln. I also tried my hand at throwing a double walled vessel this morning and was moderately successful. I didn't keep the result, but at least I got a result... baby steps.
