Jeanne, I also would love your favorite ^9 purple, "Emily Purple" if you
wouldn't mind sharing.
TIA, DebiBeck

Hi Debi;
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, but here is the glaze..enjoy,
I think it's great.
EMILY PURPLE ^9 ox or red
custer spar 41
colemanite 12
dolomite 7
talc 15
ball clay 5
flint 20
also add
bentonite 2
black cobalt ox 2
tin oxide 2
To get purple this glaze must be applied heavily, or it will
yeild a glossy dark blue (which is also nice).
The original recipe calls for potash feldspar, but I substitute
custer with no problems.

Hi Jeanne -
custer feldspar.... I had been told that the mine that "custer" came from
was mined out 15 years ago. A replacement usually used for custer is
G-200.
Are you saying that you can still get custer? ...secret stash
somewhere in the States...? ..or has my info source been mistaken?
Anne......................"too rainy for my pots to dry!!"

We use Custer spar. You may be thinking about Kingman feldspar.
It was mined outside Kingman, Arizona. The deposite did change and
lost the cosistant character it had. The mine did close. It was quite a
place when it was running. I had a friend that work there. He used to
collect Turquoise off the conveyor belt. There were buckets of the stuff.
Kingman feldspar was great.

Hi Anne;
You frighten me when you mentioned about another empty mine.
I really didn't know it was in short supply. I hate when that
happens.
As well as my best glazes it's a main ingrediant in my clay body.
I get my custer from a potter about 40 miles from where I live
(in Idaho) who has a large operation and buys it by the box
car load.
I'm not sure where he gets it, but will ask him next time I go
down for a load.

Hi Jeanne -
Don't panic yet! ;)
From the responses that I've gotten, it appears that there doesn't
seem to be a problem getting custer f. in the States. Just can't get
it here. Strange, eh?
If I find out anything more, I'll let you know.

REPLY: tHE RECIPE FOR G-200 SEEMS TO BE MUCH MORE LIKE KINGMAN THAN CUSTER.
VIVIKA HEINO ONCE TOLD ME SHE SUBSTITUTED G-200 FOR KINGMAN WITH NO
NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE. DO YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CUSTER AND G-200?
