Glaze Recipes from the Smithsonian Archives of American Art
This year I was lucky enough to visit San Diego and visit the Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park. They had several works by Laura Andreson on display. I loved the glazes and wanted to find out more about them. It turns out that some of her glaze books are in the collection at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art-- see http://www.aaa.si.edu/about/contact_us.cfm. This is a great resource. By another stroke of luck, I was able to visit the Archive in April. They allowed me to digitally photograph all of the pages available (one book was elsewhere). While I cannot share the images due to copyright, etc., I can share the information. There are some interesting glazes of all types and temps but many of the lower temperature glazes contain lead. If you can tell me what interests you I can get back to you. However, almost none of the recipes are in the standard 100 percent format. You will need math skills :)!
