I ordered Cone6 and also Cone10. So I think I am getting the right clays
for making stoneware, etc. Those should both be nice strong clays when fired, right? Yes, they will both serve you well, provided you make nice strong pots grin Good Luck ! Wayne Seidl |

I hope I did not buy the wrong clay! I know you are full of enthusiasm, but, if you already bought a wheel, why don't you buy a good book on pottery and read through it first? for example Ceramics: A Potter's Handbook von Stephanie Nelson, Richard Burkett, Glenn C. Nelson or maybe Pottery: A Complete Guide to Techniques for the Beginner von Tony Birks both available at amazon, both very good. It will answer a lot of questions for you which you don't even know you have yet. It will save you a lot of problems in my opinion. Good luck, Monika -- Monika Schleidt www.schleidt.org/mskeramik |
