Greetings Everyone,

I am very new to Clayart and am really excited that so many others
have their hands in clay as well as on computer keyboards! I thought
that I was an anomaly.

I hope there is someone out there who can help me in my quest to find
a more "plastic" bone china recipe. The recipe that I have is 52%
bone ash which is probably the least plastic substance on earth, but I
just know there has to be a solution. I have been testing a variety of
other ingredients, but they yield such inconsistent results.

My main uses are press molding and slip casting, and any input that
you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Gratefully,
Sharon P.
