Cataract surgery really is a miracle and a blessing. Congrats, and all =3D
sorts of good stuff.

However. You ask about Randy Johnston Clay Times May/June 2002 recipe =

that calls for KY White Glaze Clay.

Looking on the Internet, under Kentucky Ball Clays. I found a Champion =3D
Clay, and Tennessee # 1 and #10 listed as firing white.

I have used #10 in slips and it is a nice clay. Know nothing about the =
=3D
other two.

If you look just under Kentucky Clays you find genealogies of families =3D
named Clay. No indication whether they are white or not.
Also no indication why clays called "Tennessee" are listed under =3D
"Kentucky." But I will let them thar folks sort it out.

As to whether you can find that glaze ready made? NO idea.
