Oh Kelly -
Thank you so much for the Wednesday evening full on belly laugh. What a
treat and a blessing. Just what I needed in preparation for even more
"late" students signing up for my Thursday evening class.
Take care.

sunshine....some rain. But then, this is Washington state.

Subject: sharing my clay recipe
In the interest of an open exchange of information, I'll gladly share the
formula for my clay body:
30% slop clay from guild classes (Laguna 510 and 850, ^6-10 40% assorted
white and colored stonewares and failed glazes from my own studio 5%
botanical organics (pine needles, algae and mold, moss, leaf bits) 5%
entymological organics (beetle legs, moth wings, spiders, bees, flies to
taste) 5% human hair 5% chamois strips, bisque chunks and bandaids 5% chunk=
s
of auger and rust from a 1976 Bluebird pugmill 5% something a neighborhood
kid dug out of the creek and added to the mix
The result is a plastic, pinkish "whole grain" claybody with occasional
surprises. Fires to any cone, as far as I can tell... hotter temps create
more freckles, spots, weird bumps and big drooly iron marks.
Glad to be of assistance.
Yours

I use a very similar recipe, but add snakes, snails and puppy dog tales.

Hey Kelly,
You made a slight mistake with the formula.
At the 5% human hair - that should be 2.5% human hair and 2.5% human skin.
You may have also left out 1% sponges
;^)
