    Hello, Suzan

      I am using Wood Ash,unwashed just put it through a seive to get the chunks out. Apple Ash would be a good test to start with, I use ash from my Wood Burner,(mixed ash) the cool thing about ash, the different trees will have different outcome. I have been testing a Smoke Tree Ash, I am having some different things happen.   There is a Potter from  Shigaraki, Japan his name is Shiho Kanzaki his pottery is natual ash from his Anagama Kiln. If ash glazes are something your into, check his stuff out amazing work. Good luck testing..
