Just ordered the materials off Scarva, coming up to 34 quid overall for 2.5kg of Cornish stone and Quartz and then three other oxides I want to try out. Wood ash I have plenty of due to my fire pit.

Wood ash is eco friendly. It recycles in a garden, lawn or compost heap just fine.

Hello l have a old backyard furnace l am thinking to make it into a wood fired pottery kiln.. l am guessing the highest temperature would be glowing Orange?
Would these glazes work? Or ls the temperature too low ?
Thankyou for your time ❤

What is cornish stone and quartz? are these just natural minerals?
Also Curious about the temperature required for this glaze to work...

Thank you

What can I use instead of Cornish stone? would sodium silicate be a suitable substitute

Andy Wards Ancient Pottery is a better resource for learning pottery than this. He'll show you multiple ways to seal and paint your earthenware.

"Make glaze from wood ash with 3 simple ingredients"
Right, anyone can get their hands on wood ash, cool.
"Oh, oh, and Cornish stone / quartz"
That would be one of the "simple" ingredients, I assume?
