Joan,

Thanks for all the information!  I love that article on iron oxide and can't wait to experiment with the glaze they have listed there.  

I haven't had a lot of time to explore this web site yet.  There seems to be a ton of good information.  I could get lost in here.  I will try to put up some photos of my work that are more appropriate than this thumbnail.  It's actually a cone 10 gas glaze.  I'll switch to one that's cone 6.

Hi Sylvia,

I had never heard of synthetic iron before either. It is described here in a pdf by John Britt http://ceramicartsdaily.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/cmtechnofile...  Very interesting article and another description here http://www.potters.org/subject83623.htm/  and I am sure you can find other articles about iron. It really is interesting. And you must have read this article http://ceramicartsdaily.org/ceramic-glaze-recipes/glaze-chemistry-c...

You don't have any examples of your work. The one that is your photo is interesting but very small. How about uploading some pieces?
