The main reason for using the English Kaolins like Grolleg is if you want
to have translucency in porcelain. The reason is the English clays have
less TiO2 than the North American clays. TiO2 interferes with translucency.
EPK is whiter than any other Kaolin I have tested but is not the best
choice if you are after a translucent body.
