Hi everyone !
It has been a while since I added anything here on my blog.
I suppose with Youtube clips and Facebook etc times slips away ...
and a blog is just another thing to do online when there are already so many other online distractions.
Anyway I will be posting here again a little bit more frequently ...
pottery glaze recipes, potting tips,  food suggestions, health topics, things that are of interest to me etc.
i hope if you are a passerby here that you will enjoy your visit.

David Leach Celadon

This is a good glaze we used at Lowerdown when I worked there. It is good for cone 8-9 in reduction. It gives a nice jade green, works well in some of the cooler places in the kiln. Recipe - Kaolin - 25% Whiting - 25% Quartz - 25% Potash Feldspar- 25% (cornish stone also works) Red iron oxide - 2% Sieve all through 100 mesh sieve. KEEP PRACTICING !!
