Hi, if you can track down Perlite usually available from horticultural and
gardening suppliers and add to clay by wedging in damp you will find you
should have a bombproof body. I have gone from wet clay to finished raku pot
in under 3 hours with judicious use of a microwave to aid drying. cheers.

I purchased perlite some time ago for such a purpose, but before I could
use it and fire it in an indoor kiln, I read somewhere (clayart?magazine?
book?) that it emitted some fumes which I probably would not want to
breathe. And so the perlite was used in the garden.
Does anyone know about this? Better safe than sorry...
Cheers, CNC
