In today's video, I am sharing a clip (and a recipe) from John Britt's best-selling video Understanding Glazes. In this (much-condensed) clip, John shares his simple system for mixing up a color blend and tells us what to make of the results.

Have a look and then mix up your own color blend and see what you get. - Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor

4) Rutile 4 % and Cobalt Carbonate 1 %.
