Hi everyone,
I bought a book some time back that talks about yellow ware mined in the =
east in
the 1800 - early 1900's. Does anyone have any info on yellow ware, and =
whether
or not there is a source for the clay? Thank you

Hi Marty,
When I was doing some summer work at UPS in Tacoma, Wa., back in the 70's
the students got pretty excited when a quantity of yellow clay arrived at
the studio. I don't know the name, supplier, or, in fact, how good it was,
but it was used a lot that summer by the grad students.

I believe that would be "Sandstone Buff" REAL nice stoneware clay now
unavailable. I forget who made it but it was somewhere out of the LA area.

Actually, it was produced by Quyle, a small business in the town of
Murphys, CA, in the foothills of the Sierras, east of Stockton (roughly)
on Hwy 4. My husband and I visited them in about 1988 or so; they were
trying to sell the business at that time. I don't know if anyone else took
it over or what happened. When I first started with clay in 1981 here in
central CA, it was a popular clay . It was quite yellow and fired med.
brown in reduction. Mr. Quyle said he got a lot of his materials from
Missouri. Addendum- once I was in Des Moine Iowa and drove past a huge
construction site and saw piles of yellow that looked like clay. Got out
and got a canful, took it home to CA. Sure enough it was clay, threw OK,
but after firing, had my first exposer to sintering! Really startled me.

I've long wanted to make some bowls like the old-fashioned Yellow Ware. I
have some, and it looks to me like a clear glaze over the clay gives the
nice warm yellow/cream colour, and a white slip is used where white bands
are wanted.
I fire to cone 6, electric. None of the clays offered by my favourite clay
supplier give me a yellow/cream colour. I can of course mix a glaze to get
that colour, but then it won't give me white over the white slip. Is there
something I can add to my fav white stoneware to get the Yellow Ware
effect? I don't plan to make masses of this stuff, so ordering a clay from
far away is probably not an option.
