Do they have to be that thin? I have heard of people using kiln shelves
for large tiles, but they are thicker.

Dear Lajos
16" x 20" x 1/4" is a pretty tall order for any plastic
clay using conventional workshop/studio techniques. I
suspect that the people you refer to, are actually
manufacturers who make ceramic panels from compressed
clay dust which is much more stable. That would be the
only "non-shrink" method I know for panels this large.
Even if shrinkage is not the problem, warping on this
scale is a major hazard. Depending on what you want to
do with them, you may find buying is the best option in
the long run.

I would like to make 16" x 20" x 1/4" ceramic sheets.
I've heard that some people use "non-shrink" clay
bodies for similar projects. Does anyone know the
recipe?
