The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes

The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes


97. Meet the Ingredients: “It’s science!”

June 18, 2024

Lindsey and Donte introduce you to a few of the ingredients that make up a glaze. From talk of why Lithium isn’t just an Evanescence song to why you shouldn’t try and order “Rio” from your local clay store, they hope to give you a better understanding of these arcane ingredients that make glazes so dang pretty…


Have you ever looked at a glaze recipe and felt overwhelmed? What ingredient/material would you like us to introduce next?
