Shown Right : Tea Pot by Jon Townley: Ben's Mix Clay : "That teapot's color came solely from the wood ash and reduction in Tony's Moore's kiln - ... nothing was applied to the exterior - no glaze, no flashing slip, no soda, no nothing. The inside was lined with Charlie White, so there wasn't even any bleed through of soda from a shino liner glaze. .... pretty amazing when it came out of the kiln - a gift from the fire gods!"
Lidded bowl above and below : Ben's Mix "with just a little bit of Charlie White on the very lip of the rim (and as a
liner glaze) Otherwise it was naked on the outside"

It has a little stoneware clay but much more of the air-floated kaolin so this body throws like a porcelain not like a stoneware. It's not quite as short as a pure grolleg porcelain but still very little tooth. Expect porcelain-like shrinkage.
It has great flashing results in wood because of the high percentage of Helmer.
This clay is not recommended for beginners.
The price shown is for the northeast United States (ME, NH, MA,RI, CT, VT, NY and NJ) Please select "Zone B" if you are not in the Northeast
