I have a peterpugger, so in theory I COULD mix my own claybodies if I =
wanted to.....don't some of the commercial suppliers sell their bodies =
in dry form? Highwater doesn't. :(

Yes I know but that's not what I had in mind. I don't have scales at this
point. ;)

Thanks

Can you order the "ingredients" dry from
Highwater by the bag?

If you have a recipe for your clay body most of the supply houses can supply
the dry powdered ingredients and the colorants as well so you can mix your
own, if you choose.

Good luck!

Hey Gene,

I find that really interesting, because I THOUGHT they sold their clays in
dry form, but when I asked, they said no. :( Maybe they just changed the
policy.
