Quick note of Glaze/food safety
- Digital Fire is a resource of all things super technical. need to know the chemical composition of x material, its probably there. Cant explain why a glaze melts like it does, answers are probably there.
- Glazy is an opensource wiki like object where people post their glaze recipes. You can filter recipes by type and firing temp.
- We have an official MMS Glazy Account Glazy MMS Its where we store all of our glaze recipes in production they are in the bookmark tab under our account.
- John Britt is a ceramicists that has a free online glaze course talking about all kinds of glaze topics. Where are the materials from? How are they made? what are they doing in your glaze? A wonderful resource. He also does other ceramics topics.
