"First
they unload the boxes of clay from their truck. Then they immediately
load my
finished work right back on the truck! For well over a decade
Sheffield Pottery has supplied me with both excellent customer service
and the most consistent and finest prepared stoneware clay body.
Furthermore, their on-site gallery has supported me by selling my
wheel-thrown functional pottery. John, Diane, Benny, Chris, Lee and all
the folks at Sheffield Pottery truly care about their
customers!"

Our Clay Disclaimer
Our clays are guaranteed to be delivered to you at their
intended formula and water content within the range of accuracy of our
equipment. (Our mixing system is accurate to 0.2 lb. of dry materials.)
Note that:
-The materials used to produce your clay are mined by
companies that do not necessarily recommend their products to be used by potters
and they do not guarantee the purity of them. Therefore we can not be
responsible for any variations or contaminants that are beyond our control.
Using our Dry Materials refining system will greatly improve the dependability
of these clays for a minimal extra cost.
-Since there are so many variables on the user end, you
must test the clay to be sure that it works for your application given your own
techniques and environment. We can only guarantee that the clay body is what you
ordered, but we cannot guaranty that it will work for your needs. Sheffield
