Hey Pete
Will you post on clayart and ask if people know of a clay body that
works well to burnish and blacken similar to the Pueblo Indian, Maria
pottery?
thanks,

Having used both, I can attest that the raku body Vince Pitelka has
mentioned in this forum (referred to by some as God's Bod) burnishes and
blackens quite satisfactorily, much as Pueblo clay does. The recipe is:
25 Goldart
25 Ball Clay
25 Fire Clay
25 Fine Grog
For an idea of what smoke-fired pots made of this body look like, there's a
photo sequence beginning at
