Thank you again for all the references and advice. If any of you are
interested in making cone 6 porcelains and in understanding clay bodies in
general, here is what was suggested -- great books, might I add :) I was
lucky to find what I didn't have at the campus library.
Books:
Cardew, Michael. Pioneer Pottery. (includes slop method)
Conrad, John W. Contemporary Ceramic Formulas.
Zakin, Richard. Electric Kiln Ceramics.
Peterson, Susan. The Craft and Art of Clay. 3rd edition is what I have.
Articles:
Zamek, Jeff. Additives for Glazes and Clay Bodies. CM December 1998
I particularly like the idea of playing with Veegum T to replace the dirty,
shrinking, absorbing ball clay
Manuals:
Hansen, Tony. Magic of Fire II.
Cheers,
Fabienne who is ready to mix now
