if the clay is very high fired, well glaze and preferably porcelain it will
take the temperature.

Hi Jon,
We just finished a cement block studio that I'm also planning to put some tile o
I plan to use the clay body that I use for tile garden benches that I leave out
winter here in Wisconsin. The recipe:
1 part Goldart
1 part AP Green 28 mesh fireclay
1 part Kyanite (35 mesh)
This body is coarse. I get about 7% total shrinkage and 4% absorption at ^ 10 w
it.
Good luck,
Sylvia Mondloch
