I am curious about what recipes for "Temple White"
may be floating around out there. We have one that
we use, and in organizing a paper glaze file box I found,
I found several more called "Temple White" that are
not remotely (well, maybe REMOTELY) like the one
that we have in use. It may not be possible to
know which (if any) is the actual Byron Temple glaze,
but I'd be interested to see other recipes that are
out there in glaze land that are called "Temple White".
Our glaze is a cone 9-10 reduction glaze, gloss,
semi-transparent, freckles with iron on stoneware
bodies. The others in the file, when tested, were
opaque matt and semi- matt glazes, with some iron
spotting on the stoneware in use here.
Any who have "Temple White" glazes, would you forward
them to me OFF-LIST?
I will be away for a couple of
weeks and will be off-list, set for nomail today.
I'll test the glazes
and re-post later in the summer, with summaries of
appearance, behavior, etc. of any recipes I receive.
Thanks.
regards

I have had this in my glaze book for years. I am pretty sure it came from
Sam Moligian when I took a course about 25 years ago here in Canada.

TEMPLE WHITE
Potash Spar 480
Cornwall Stone 170
Whiting 170
Tennesee Ball Clay 90

I have never tried it but, the glazes that he gave us in Cone 6 all worked
well. I don't fire cone 10. Gesine Rodger, Canada

Hi Dannon,
Re: "Curious about what recipes for "Temple White" may be floating around
out there."
Well, here is a southern hemisphere version of Temple White. It is listed
in a small New Zealand booklet, modestly called GLAZES FROM GODZONE.
I have not tried it, -- I am a mid-firing type of potter, but the footnote
says: " A reliable non crazing glaze. Whiter in reduction. Fire to
1280-1300." (That's about cone 9 to 10.)
20 Dolomite
2 Whiting
35 Potash Feldspar
25 Australian Ball Clay
20 Silica
10 Zirconium Silicate
I hope this adds to your collection.
Glazes may not always 'translate' well to the materials of another country,
but they do get around, don't they?
