What are the 3 basic ingredients in glaze?

�Every glaze is made of the following 3 materials:�Silica – Creates glass. Examples: quartz, flint, pure silica.�Alumina – Stiffens the glaze so it doesn't slide off the clay. ...�Flux – Causes the glaze to melt at a low enough temperature to be used in ceramics.
