a wow factor indeed!

do you mix your crystal glazes or do you buy them already made?

Thank you so much. I'll forward this to my teacher as I hope she'll understand your metrics - I have no idea what those cones mean But we'll work it through together I'm sure.

Be sure to show her the link as well because the type of firing really matters with those glazes -- too slow a firing, and it'll be a solid glaze.
