Ron Roy on sun 4 oct 98

Hi gang,

I need to find a certain glaze for someone. It's a cone 10-11 purple matte
taken from a book from Penland - perhaps the title is "Penland glazes."

Anybody have that recipe or who I can contact to find it?

Please email any info to me at ronroy@ total.net


Thanks - RR

Ron- the book, "Penland School of Crafts-Book of Pottery", lists 2 purple
glazes, but listed as ^9-^10, and with no indication of surface. They are:

Seacrest Purple
Potash Feldspar 537
Whiting 129
Colemanite 25
Kaolin 60
Flint 224
Zinc Oxide 25
total 1000
3% Black Iron Oxide
3% Rutile

Emily Purple
Potash Feldspar 410
Colemanite 120
Dolomite 70
talc 150
Tennessee Ball clay 50
Flint 200
total 1000
2%Bentonite
2%Black Cobalt Oxide
2%tin oxide

You need to remember that the date on the book is 1975- (ISBN
0-672-51968-2) when they still had colemanite. The potash Spar was probably
one of the local NC spars (KONA A3,?)

As to a contact- there is at least one here on the list (Tracy?)

hope this helps- Bill
