Mr. Wagonner,
I have been following the Heino posts for a few weeks with the idea in mind
of trying to create yellow. Would you please direct me as to where I can
find your post on the formula for Peeler yellow ?
Thank you very much

Dear Yellow seekers,
All three of my favorite "Richard's" Burkett/Peeler/Hay all used
wonderful cone 10 yellows. Peeler Yellow goes on really thin in light
reduction. (I have the formula for it and have already posted it.) It
sometimes broke light red on edges. It has to be just the right
thickness. Yellow iron I believe.
By the way, DePauw University just named the new multi-million dollar
art center after Richard. Wonder what he would say? I know one thing he
would tell us...."wear a unique hat...so people can tell you apart from
the others." Look for Marj Peeler's article in PMI on making "Clay
Bells" coming out soon.
Richard Burkett used a yellow on porcelain what was just luscious. (He
used it when he had a pottery "Wild Rose" near where I lived in the
middle 70's.)
I'm sure those of you who want to could write to him and he would
probably have it tucked away in his "Hyper Glaze" program on his MAC.
I could tell some funny stories about Richard and my brother and their
chemistry experiments in our basement. One time I heard this explosion
and they both ran out of the basement picking stuff out of their hair
saying, "Wow...that was cool" and ran right back down. That was before
911 so I just kept watching "Batman". Richard's father was a chemistry
Prof. at DePauw. See why he is so good at glaze calc. His first salt
kiln was in his parent's driveway. Now there is another topic for a
thread, "How potters parents helped and supported us while we got
started."
Dick Hay (ISU Prof and glaze guru) has multiple yellows. If you are
interested I'll give him a call at his "Bald Headed Potters
Headquarters" in downtown Brazil. (Indiana, not South America.) He does
not do E-mail, but he loves phone calls. If you go to see him he will
fix you breakfast and you can probably stay over night. His house is a
modern pottery museum. That should be a visit spot when NCECA is in
INDY.

Today we feel more like 50 miles away from INDY. It's a little farther
because the humidity is up and the earth is a little bigger.

Could you please post the yellow glaze again, as I am a newbie and would
treasure this info..?
thanks,
