Blick Art Materials
-
one of my favorite mail order pottery suppliers. They sell Laguna,
Duncan, and Amaco brand glazes - both earthenware and stoneware. Dick
Blick even offers their own line of glazes (I haven't tested them
yet - it's on my list!). Plus, they have potter's wheels, and many
other pottery supplies!
