John Britt's New Book of Glaze Recipes

John Britt's new glaze book, The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes, is now available. You can get it from Amazon, but if you go through John's website (johnbrittpottery.com), $29.95, he'll sign it, and ship it for free. The book is getting rave reviews, and I have a feeling these first edition hardbacks won't be available for long.

I'm looking forward to trying out a lot of these glazes, starting with some self-reducing reds.
I've got a few pictures in the book - pots with Chartreuse and Marilee's Lava glazes (recipes included), as well as a cone 6 soda fired pot.

Here's the Marilee's Lava glaze on a pot going into the 2015 NCECA Biennial, coming up in January at Brown University:



The Lower Parking Lot
Porcelain, thrown and altered, with inclusions of dirt from the lower parking lot of the Annandale Campus of Northern Virginia Community College, fired to cone 6 oxidation, 9" x 10" x 10", 2014.

  1. I'm trying to find a good lava/volcanic glaze for cone 04 or cone 6. I love this one but when I tried Marilee's glaze it sure didn't come out like this! Can you say the recipe used for this one? Much appreciated!
