I appreciate it, thank you! Also how amazing that it's a Betty Woodman recipe.

We have received a new supply of talc and have mixed a batch with the new material. Are there changes in the mining of talc as of late or its properties? I do believe I heard something of the like. One of my mentors also inquired about the talc. But even prior it never behaved well as a glaze but as of late has seemingly worsened. Thank you for the info on dunting. This helps better my understanding and makes sense.

I'm really hoping to keep the glaze recipe as close as possible.

Good to know about the overly dominate clay in this recipe. Also, I've honestly always wondered the same thing about the way the numbers add up. I may do some digging into some of the historical notes for this studio or other versions of this same recipe perhaps. I might be playing around with the percentage of clay and run some tests.

I am also late to the reply on my own thread, thanks for the patience. I was away from my desk for a few days. This right here is the knowledge I was hoping to garner. This it the kind of test I would like to run to see if I can help these issues. I will definitely be running this test. Thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Might be changing the clay body, mainly because we have a incredible library of tiles for all of our glaze combinations.

I love knowing this. Thank you!

Yes I am interested in keeping the characteristics of the glaze and the recipe as close as possible. We have an extensive library of glaze combination tiles that I would like to have them still apply if at all as all possible.

Hi Clay Community, I am needing some input on possible actions to take to prevent the severity of shivering that has been taking place in our studio. We fire cone 10 gas reduction. We have 4 different clay bodies and our reclaim clay. The white glaze is having some compatibility and fit issues with our stoneware clays. And of course the worst being with our red heavy iron baring stoneware. This combination of stoneware and our white glaze is the only culprit. The white glaze is not shivering on the porcelainuos clays. This combo also has a tendency to not behave if used primarily as a liner glaze especially on just the top of large surface areas like plates and will crack the piece all the way through post firing or during cooling.

Or possible adjustments to the firing to prevent the severity of our recent shivering incidents. Thank you for any input! Warmly, Clay Enthusiast
