kaolin
Thank you Craig.
I remembered that you had asked about this material.
This week I have heard from a friend that the Grolleg is "buyable" in
Israel. The supplier told me yesterday he had the Standard porcelain
too.
I try to find the perfect claybody that will fit to my ^6 crystal
glazes.
I shall ask them about the Supper standard too.

Hello Ababi:
I found the ECC Standard Porcelain to be about the same as ECC Grolleg.
It
has a medium particle size and is plastic enough to throw and handbuild
but
it could use some additions of macaloid, vee gum, or some other sort of
montmorillonite plasticizer.
I'm working with some porcelain bodies now that have blends of ECC
Standard
and ECC Super Standard. The Super Standard is much more plastic than
the
regular Standard Porcelain. Super Standard has a smaller particle size
and
a higher MOR, (modulus of rupture), than Standard.
