New green glaze in development (Gargomon green)
Earthnationceramics is developing a new green glaze. Let’s see how!

Controlling crystal glazes part 2 (Ancient copper was a crystal glaze the whole time)
Ancient copper is a crystal glaze and should be treated as such.
Controlling crystals - application and heat is key (crystal glazes)

Glaze calculator confusion
When calculating the glaze recipe down to the UMF it's important understand that every calculator is technically different. Some of them don't update their chemical analyzes, some of them count in iron as an alkali earth while others just counted as “other”. This changes the entirety of the UMF for glaze calculators. If you've only been using one calculator for your entire life and it's never been updated…. It might be Time to change.
Playing with bismuth in cone 6 glazes prt.1 (What are you!)
Testing Bismuth at cone 6 oxidation to find out it’s roll.
New glaze (Greymon V.2)
Earth Nation ceramics has developed a new ceramic glaze; Greymon V.2. Let’s talk about why Greymon v.1 sucked so bad.
A good clear glaze for cone 5/6 oxidation. (Recipe + test examples included)

Tuning viscosity in glaze (thanks, I hate it)
A ceramic art blog talking about the importance of tuning viscosity in your glazes with sodium solution or darvan.
We discover something very important in this blog.
Lets talk about clay bodies and absorption + Hypothesis
This blog features a new glaze called metal gurumon and touches on the hypothesis that thicker clay bodies have greater capillary suction thus absorbing a greater amount of glaze mineral onto the surface of bisque.
Why specific gravity is so important to your glaze. Example.
In this blog I show yet another example of why specific gravity and application are so vital to the success of you glaze outcome.
