What is Agate ware?

Throwing Clays

Clay bodies
The clay body selected for throwing is as important as the type of wheel and wheel head used. There are three general groups of clay bodies - red or white earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain. Stoneware usually has the best working properties. Because it is not always as workable as an earthenware body, porcelain is generally considered a poor clay to use when learning to throw.
