George,
This is not a modification of a formula published in the May issue of CM. A=
s
matter of fact this formula has not be published anywhere. I have had this
formula since 1990 and it was give to me by a close friend. Regina, did not
formulate this clay body be use on an open flame. This formula was fired in
a reduction kiln and its use was intended to be as oven-ware. The question
that I should have asked is this "Can I still found the compounds that are
used in this clay body today?"
Thanks
James

To the Clayart group:
The clay body formula below is a modification of the one published in the
May issue of CM. So, can someone out there tell me what happens to
Spodumene and Pyrophyllite at cone 9 to 10 and what is the function of
Pyrophyllite in this particular clay body. I already know what DigitalFire
says about the mineral but I have no experience with it in a clay body. I
am familiar with Australian Spodumene but what happens when it is combined
with Pyrophyllite?
By the way, the formula as it is listed is too low in lithium for stove top
cooking and will eventually fail.
