Good day all,
We have starting making a number of pots in both porcelain and stoneware, i=
n
some cases the same shape in both clays. This leads me to question if this
is a good thing as the porcelain looks better that the stoneware. I doubt w=
e
can up the price much for the porcelain and got to wandering if others do
this and if it is a problem. I could see if we bring both to a show the
porcelain might hurt the stoneware sells. I do like the feel of throwing
porcelain but do not want to move to just porcelain as some of our pots are
oven were. Any words of wisdom on mixing clay types?
Thank,
Dan & Laurel

Dan,
I do both and people just come to expect that porcelain will have a higher =

price than stoneware. If they do not understand...well that can lead you in=

to an interesting conversation that can help you sell either one or the oth=

They will realize the value of porcelain, and thus may buy that.
Or they will think your stoneware, is a great bargain, and buy that.
DO it! I do...and think it gives your work and your work the variety that i=

s even more exciting and marketable.=3DA0 It only can have a positive effec=

I think!
