Glaze should be no problem at all.
Clay could be dicier. It forms crystals as it freezes and the water can
migrate, so that you have hard and soft. Not ruined, but may require
some extra work to wedge up, etc.

Received a shipment of clay today ( 1000 lbs ) and some gallons of
glaze..ALL frozen solid. Apparently UPS had left the order outside along
the way.....so what happens after it all thaws out? can I use the clay and
the glaze just fine ?

Yes. You will have to wedge the clay some extra, and it mayh be a bit drier
than "normal" as the freezing will have pushed some water out and it will be
"missed". Glaze freezes well. Never had any problems. One word of caution
for the future: latex and liquid wax resist must not freeze.

My studio (in the barn) got down into the twenty degree range due to my lack of
attention to the thermostat and the unrelenting sub-zero temps in upstat New
YorK...anyway everything froze. After thawing out I glazed the latest bisque
stuff and all went well- no harm to the glazes and the clay is fine too.
Stay warm with a friend!
