Marcia,Iforgot;
Why have you /she got two soda spars in the recipe? Could you go with 23.4 of one or the other? I have Neph Sy, I do not have Kona F-4, but I could probably get it.

I have not used this glaze, but was thinking about mixing up a batch.

I use a mirror to brush my teeth in the morning. For some reason I can't find my mouth that early in the A.M. Have seen videos of Simon Leach etc. using a mirror for throwing. Never tried it.

How did you know? It was actually a festival of Majolica pots.

Stephen;
You have a good question here, which requires more than a one sentence answer. As an artist, your name is your brand. If you have been doing it for a while, people will know your work, your glazes, your forms.It is legitimate to continually search for that elusive form or colour. Instructional videos are just that-instructional. You will take what you need from the video, make it, change it and it becomes yours. As an art teacher, I have seen a lot of bad copies of my work, including drawings paintings and pottery. Sometimes I do a double take, thinking, why didn't I smash that bad pot-then you realize -heh ,heh, it's a student piece. I usually don't say anything to the person and the work goes away.There will always be bad knock-offs, and I don't think you can avoid it by registering a bowl form or other shape. Most of these ceramic forms are classic.

Jim;
I'm with you. I ruined a couple of good grande pianos with the stuff.
