> Hello all
Is Avery clay that hard to find ,I posted this request two weeks ago and
got one reply ( he wanted some also) . Why is it hard to find and is there a
replacement. In my case it's used in a slip in soda firing (beautiful blush)
a nice orange.
thank you

Hi: Avery kaolin has been commercially unavailable for a number of years.
Once in a while someone will pass along a small amount to another potter in
need. But, really, why bother? If the stuff is gone, it's gone! I would
suggest getting a percentage analysis of Avery and attempt to synthesize a
substitute using other kaolins and oxides. Helmer Kaolin, mined in Idaho and
in good supply will also produce brilliant orange shino type slips. I think
that Helmer would be an excellent material to work from in an attempt the
get something close to the old Avery. I use a shino slip with about 50%
Helmer in it and lightly overspray with a wood ash glaze. It produces a
wonderful, warm, brilliant orange.

I HAVE ABOUT 20LBS OF AVERY. A BUDDY OF MINE MIGHT HAVE SOME FULL BAGS.
IF HE DOES NOT WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO TRADE FOR THE 20LBS I HAVE?

Avery clay is no longer mined because there is not a huge demand for it
on an industrial level. We as potters have a demand for it, but our
voice is small compared to the larger money making industries that make
it worth mining. Basically, we are at the mercy of what is profitable to
mine. Try using Helmer Kaolin.

I don't know the properties of Avery clay but do have a suggestion.
We have access to a kaolin deposit in Troy, Idaho that has a fair amount of
soluble salts. It is quite vitreous and similar to Pioneer Kaolin. I think
it is also known as 'Helmer Clay' and is actually a halloysite mineral. We don't
even need to grind this stuff, it just slakes in water and fires with almost
no speckle.
Don't email request direct shipment from Plainsman, my Internet activities are
generating a lot of requests and they are getting ready to lynch me!
However if you write Plainsman and request a sample they will send. Then if it
looks good request that your supplier bring some some in for you.

Helmer has about twixe the iron and Titanium as the old Avery so you might
want to mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with a low iron/low titanium china clay to get the
look you want.

June
