As I was getting ready for my Dayton /Cornell Studio Workshop on cone 6 glaze I plotted some glazes I researched for non-crazing at one 6 on "most" bodies and noticed how much tighter they were than the Stull map. I then did the same with other "limits/targets" noticing the variations. It is interesting to see.

Got a few spots left in a workshop outside of Los Angles next week. It's going to be very unique one where we're going to just explore sculptural surfaces for a week! We have 15 people so far but are hoping to get 20 participants so we can have more results to work with. Should be a lot of fun! If you don't mind, please share with your sculpture friends!
