Dumpster Diving
Turns up Archival
Clay & Glaze Recipes

On a wintry Sunday afternoon in 1996, a well-used
recipe card file box containing archival clay body and
glaze recipes was retrieved from a defunct coffin kiln.
They would have been lost if my nine-year old had not
been curious enough to open the kiln that was moved
from the UBC Fine Arts Studio into the Scarfe Building
Education Ceramics Studio.

‘Thereafter, the card file was moved from shelf to shelf
in the studio until 1t was surreptitiously transferred to the
Potters’ Guild for archival storage and officially gifted by
UBC Art Education to the Potters’ Guild. For the past
year, Debra Sloan and I have been exploring numerous
ideas for sharing and publishing the information tn this
newly acquired archive.

This card file contains important recipes along with
a record of the active potters in the 1970s, ceramic
materials vendors and suppliers. Glenn Lewis originally
compiled this card file when he installed and managed
the Ceramics Studio in the Scarfe Building. Through
another series of fortunate coincidences, Debra Sloan
and I were able to contact Glenn Lewis this spring and
spent an afternoon looking over the cards and listening
to him reminisce about the potters, recipes and times
when these potters talked about the nuances of their clay
bodies and glazes.

Two more gifts in kind came to this archival project:
Celia King, Emily Carr book-arts instructor and book
designer, took an interest in this material and met with
me to talk about design concepts; the
archiving committee was granted a
summer intern/volunteer, Sun Young
Kim, better known to us as “Wonder”,
who scanned all 300+ cards into digital

format. ee

More to come.
