Tom Spleth has a hand building, throwing and casting body that fires
between cone 8 and 10 either in reduction or oxidation. A tough body,
holds shape in firing. Releases easily from mold. =3D20
This formula is in Val Cushings hand book on page 24. It is well
advised for potters at all levels to own this handbook. I look at it
and it nearly parallels my notes in Val's class. I still have my notes
after 36 years and the dates and time of each lecture on every page.
Those were great times .....

This hand book will answer so many questions for potters...
