Tip of the Week

Try many clay bodies.

The world of clay bodies is vast, you can use anything from
clay found in the ground to clay purchased in bags. Clay
can have many different attributes and will provide many
different experiences depending upon the needs of the
potter or ceramists. Many people begin their clay
experience with terra cotta (red clay) or earthenware clay
and then move on to stoneware then graduate to porcelain
also hopefully raku clay. Different pre-blended specialty
clay bodies are available at retail stores, check with your
local pottery and ceramics supplier to see what suits your
needs.
