is cone 06 same as cone 6 ???

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

Good Luck !

As a newbie, I ordered some cone 06 and cone 10 clay. Someone told me
that there is actually cone 6 clay that is not the same as cone 06 -- is
this true and what is the difference? 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
