This is a find on what you are looking for but I suspect that the powers
that be at your studio would be less inclined to do a new glaze where they
might accept adapting a used one (if nothing else, you know they have the
ingredients).

www.potters.org is a good place to go to search for pottery info
www.digitalfire.com is one I cannot recomment highly enough. If you really
get interested in glazing I recommend buying their software. If you just
want to play around with formulas and to see what glaze chemistry looks
like, I have freeware you can have.
http://www.masteringglazes.com/ is another excellent site for glaze info
(you will need to buy the book and software).

Hi everyone. I am new to the group so I don't know what questions have
been asked. Here's mine...

I've been making pottery at a community studio for the past 3-4 years.
This studio uses gas fired (cone 10) kiln and glazes. Recently, I've been
using a couple of different slips (dark blue, chrome green, etc...) and
covering them with nelson celedon. [The glazes are provided by the
studio. They also have an amber celedon and "g" celedon (which might
stand for green or ginny -- I am not sure, but it is more greenish than
the nelson celedon)].

So..., here is my question. Are there other clear/transparent high fire
glazes that will work over slips in a high-fired, gas kiln? I would like
to try different color slips, but want a glaze that is something lighter
and/or more transparent than the greenish/bluish color the nelson celedon.
(I should note, I have no control over the kiln because it is a community
kiln.)

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Rick
