I am trying to find a recipe for a cone 10 glaze called P.V. White; I do
some volunteer work for a school that has a small amount of this glaze and
we would like to mix it again. I think it is a published glaze. Does anyone
have a recipe or a clue as to where it may have been published?
Thanks.

The following is the formula I have for P.V. White
PV (plastic vitrox) White Cone 8-10
Plastic Vitrox (P.V. Clay) 50
Colemanite 50
Zircopax 15
a friend of mine used only this glaze in a lamp factory for years and
fired to cone 10.
Studio Visitors--I had a neighbor visit once with her 7 year old son to
show him a "real potter". While I fixed juice and iced tea the kid ran
over to my wheel- which had a just thrown 24" jar still on it that I was
commissioned to make--and stomped on the foot pedal. The jar spun off
and slammed into the studio wall, the neighbor grabbed the kids hand and
stormed out of the studio yelling over her shoulder that her baby could
have been seriously injured and she may sue. I was left standing
speachless in the middle of my studio with a cup of juice and two iced
teas in my hand staring at the really nice jar stuck to my wall. I kept
a piece of that pot to remind me that if kids visit, turn off your
wheel.

At the Art League Pottery we use a glaze called PV White which we fire
to a Cone 8 in the Kiln Sitter. It seems to be very stable at our
temperature. I have never fired it to 10. The following is our recipe
for a 7200 gram batch.
3000 Gerstley Borate
3000 Plastic Vitrox
1200 Zircopax

Is this an oxidation or reduction glaze? What does it look like? How does
it work with colored slips?

I thaught that we had lost plastic vitrox forever along with Albany Slip.
Now I see it mentioned in a post for a glaze. Is it available now? Where?

Cone 10 Redux
White to gray and very accepting of overglaze oxides. This is one of
those glazes that has a long firing range and has a satin surface but
wont run unless very thick

Laguna, Plainsman Clays both have it.
If you want a surprise fire a PV clay bar at cone 6. There is no other
clay material I have ever seen that fires anything like it.

I purchased plastic vitrox at Freeform Clay in National City, California as
an off-the-shelf item and paid $0.36 per pound. I am sure if it is that
easily available here, it is also with larger suppliers.

Hi Dan:
Ceramic Supply of NJ (1800-7-ceramic) carries plastic vitrox. We have 1/2
a bag sitting in our studio. I assume others carry it as well. Where are
you?
