Hello fellow clayarters. I am a student at UF and I was wondering how
or where I could find some good info on mica. I was told by one of my
fellow students that adding mica to a clay body can improve its strength
a great deal. She informed me that some one had asked her to try and
break acup that was made with a mica and she could not do it. Is this
fact or fiction? I'd like to know.

Thanks Denise King go Gators
