Insight-Live User Group

This is a working group dedicated to testing and sharing glaze research results on our group area of the Insight-Live Glaze Recipe Database. This is absolutely the best place to share your recipes with photos and notes. You can add notes and pictures to other people's recipes showing how your results vary from the originals, and from other people's work with the same glaze. Members are required to periodically contribute notes, pictures, or well documented new recipes to the database.

Videos are available to orient new users with using the database and the user interface, and a text based help system is available

With the online glaze recipe database, members can upload recipes and pictures, search the databases for recipes, append recipes with new notes, and create printable batch mix sheets from recipes. Now members can copy an existing recipe and modify it while comparing the chemistry of both versions.   

This group is the cone6pots portal to Insight-Live. We accept anyone with cone6pots network membership, who agrees to publish photos and/or notes of their results with glaze recipes.. To gain  access to our group's Insight-Live database, you must first join the C6P network, and then this group. Your login information will be generated and sent to you, normally within a day or two.

Database access is a benefit brought to you by supporting members of the cone6pots network.

  • Should We Stay or Should We Go Now

    Our Insight-live glaze database is not used by many members. I just deleted all members who have not signed in or viewed any recipes since January of 2017. That leaves us with 17 ''active" members. Of those only 11 have posted one or more new recipes since joining.When we started with Insight-live…

    Insight live says my account has expired. Does this mean I've been booted off the group for some reason? :(

  • Finding the perfect clear

    Has anyone worked with Tony Hansen's G1214W Clear? I had thought I had found the perfect clear for our studio when I found this glaze. It did not craze on Standard clays. It was crystal clear and it behaved well with all the underglazes used with it. Then it started turning milky. I weigh the…

    I was searching google images for 'alkaline glazes' and saw this at VVarges page: http://vvargespottery.typepad.com/vvarges_pottery/2011/01/further-high-alkaline-pots.html Apparently its an iron…

  • Glaze Recipe Formatting Standards.

    To maximize the usefulness of the database some standardization is in order, particularly if you are entering recipes manually.  It might be too much work to rework all of a batch of several hundred recipes (though that is what I'm doing with the 475 cone 6 recipes in the Sankey Glazes) before…

  • Determining Optimum Cone For Glaze

    I'm currently using my copy of the G1214W digital fire base at ^6, and am happy with the results. I'm currently thinking of firing to ^7 or even ^8 because of the absorption of my clay when fired.Am I right in thinking the way to determine the melt at a certain cone is a comparison with reference…

  • recipe owner

    I recently noticed something peculiar in Insight-Live. When I open a recipe it suddenly says 'Mine' for the owner, while I am sure I am not.  An advanced search  ' Show recipes of ' does still work correctly and shows only my recipes. How is this for you, other user?…

  • How to prevent database pollution or how to clean up the insight-Live data. Your views please.

    My main reason to use Insight-Live is the chemistry calculation and comparison between recipes. Many recipes entered into the database fail to calculate chemistry, because the materials are misspelled, named differently or the colouring oxides are included. I cannot change the recipe when I am not…

  • photo added to recipe does not link back to recipe

    I added 3 photos to a recipe and the recipe links to the photos. However when I do 'show' on the photo (under our pictures) it says "UnConnected to any recipe"  The recipe is called Ron Roy black #3 EU. How can I change it such that the photo does refer back to the recipe?  I noticed all other…

  • Questions about Insight-Live.com

    Hi everyone. I put some Questions about how to use parts of Insight-Live on the comment wall, so I will not add them here. I thought it might be nice to have a spot where we could just write out our questions when they arise. That way George and Tony will have a heads up on what some of us are…
