Clay and Glaze Sales

G and GG stoneware

Cone 6-10
Shrinkage 12.5% at cone 10.
This stoneware fires to a nice light gray in reduction and a off white in oxidation. It is extremely plastic and is excellent for both wheel work and hand building. This is the choice for many of our areas schools and professional potter's because of it's great firing range. This is also a nice body for raku. GG has the addition of a fine grog to help control shrinkage.

DP Porcelain
Cone 10
Shrinkage 12% at cone 10.
This porcelain contains a mixture of grolleg and demos tic kaolins. It fires to a nice white in both oxidation and reduction. 5% Ball clay is added making this a very nice throwing body. It has been compared to Lugana's B-Mix, without many of the cracking issues. Because of the addition of helmar clay, this porcelain will flash nicely in wood firings.

Grolleg Porcelain
Cone 10
Shrinkage 11% at cone 10.
This is a true Grolleg porcelain. It fires to a beautiful clean white in both oxidation and reduction. This clay doesn't contain any ball clay, making it very pure, but it does lack some plasticity on the wheel. Translucent were thin.

ZR Raku
Cone 05
Shrinkage 6.5% at cone 05
This Raku clay body contains a high percent of screened fire clay, grog, and talc to make it very thermo shock resistant. It throws and trims very easily and fire to a buff white in oxidation and black in a heavy raku reduction. This has been our primary production clay for raku for 5 years.
