I have a few but sadly none are refractory enough for stoneware temps.matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122080837290011184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013369420226422684.post-46654258757798301002014-01-03T13:49:36.793+00:002014-01-03T13:49:36.793+00:00I am chuffed your writing about the clays youv'...I am chuffed your writing about the clays youv'e found and are processing been following the blog for a while and saw the interview when the firing was going on and I was really interested in the clay side so cheers for the post. I love the fact that kneading it a lot improves it so much and it must be well worth it. Alas I have only dug and processed and then threw the clay myself once but it was the most beautiful clay to throw and the whole process was really enjoyable it was an ochreish earthenware very bright orange made a really nice slip under high fire glazes. Anyway keep up the hard work and I think the pots are magic. wabi sabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08505467630671897273noreply@blogger.com
