I'd be happy to give you some recipes, but have you tried Southern Ice, sold by Laguna?
My testing shows excellent whiteness, fired to cone 11, and a beautiful throwing porcelain body
as well, meaning that it's rather easy to throw it thin enough to get translucency.

Hi, I am trying to make a translucent porcelaneous
clay body much like Rudy Staffel's Light Gatherer
series. Any help would be appreciated, thankyou.

Adams -
My understanding is that Staffel's recipe(s) are "out
there" - perhaps published in CM or from a former
student at Tyler?
Meanwhile, here's a recipe which might meet your needs
or provide info.
Grolleg 20%
EPK 8
Tile #6 8
Kona F-4 38
Whiting 4
Flint 22
total 100%
Macaloid 3%
He may have added a little molochite or alumina.
Your challenge is to acheive translucency without
slumping. I have no idea if RS ever fired his pieces
in a mold for support.
Good luck and please post any test results.
