    We were using Steven's fake ash glazes in the workshop. I found one with some similar ingredients for cone 6 from John Britt. Go to the glazes page

    Thanks for the info on the fake ash glazes! I will have to see if I can get the college professor to let me mix a small batch, because I love the effects you get with them.

    Eric Preece (aka Zoophagous) is testing a number of Steven's recipes @ cone 6 in an electric kiln and reporting on them at http://ultramegaceramics.blogspot.com. Even though he hasn't formally joined this group, he is with us in spirit, and he is the only one publishing any results so far. I'm gearing up for a glaze fire next weekend and will do basic tests on the recipes I have ingredients for.

    For those interested, my work is as much about single firing as about atmospheric effects in oxidation. The Fire It Once group was up before I went to the SH workshop, so I'm leaving it active. The amount of info over there is continuing to build, so you might join that group as well, if you want to explore single firing. The glazes that are being discussed here, so far, are tailored to single firing. If you want to continue bisque firing, then you can work with less clay in your glazes.

    Larry's link doesn't work because there is a comma in it instead of a period. Try this one lost creek pottery. Some very nice pots.

    Hi, we have been using Steven's glaze recipes with Cone 6 electric firing for several years now. Some needed to be moffied slightly and the spary combinations need to be understood on several test pots to gain the proper ratio knowledge.

    The glaze receipes can be found on our web site or can be purcahsed through GlazeMixer.com

    Monty, what is your web-site? I am in love with your green and black pot, especially the green. Is that SH copper or Watercolor green?

    Anthony Andersen uses the S.H. glazes and layering techniques. He posted a link to pictures of pots and spraying techniques from one of Steven's workshops. This is the link.
