Harry Davis had his own clay body recipe? This stems from my look
into Cornish stone.
That he added 1% to his clay body recipe.
Dry mix:
Anyone have Mr. Davis clay body recipe or a body recipe that includes
cornish stone?
Thank you.

I checked this for a customer and unless they've changed very recently
H&G don't import HiPlas 71, as it is now called.

clay is more like a stoneware clay. You can buy it from Hammil and
gillespie outta NJ? I used to use Hymod 71.

Had a great day, searching at the expense of my current employer:
Though I'm a cone 10 stoneware reduction guy with glaze fit problems
because I'm fussy not because they are unattractive errors. I don't
want to pigion hole my scene in one area.
I had a great start in terra cotta and earthenware a few years back. I
formulated some borax and bromide bodies that self fluxed at bisque
temp that were very unique and attractive embedded with bits of flint
and rose quartz all at very low temperatures. These areas represent
the flip side of my high fire work. So...
Okay, I'm an imperialist at heart.
But I'm a blender and want to acquire some pure components and
create my own bodies. Going after the UK Ball Clay and Cornish
Stone and combining my own blend to mostly deep terra cotta reds,
some fine mesh red desert sand, a little grog to sober it. I know when
it will feel right.
Will extrude into coils and make some large garden pots at 04 to 2.
There's a real nice dark, and rather pure red clay I call Paonia Red
along the hills and resourvoirs of Western Colorado. I'll play with
cone temperatures. Still young enough to dig it and process it in
slurries. But it just feels right stepping on it with some of the Queens
own God given product.

Figures I might kill two birds with one cornish stone. Both the UK Ball
Clay varieties from ECC International of UK and the Cornish Stone.
Next up to bat. H&G has got them both.
I'll find out if they sell to small potatos or whether I have to go with
another middleman since they are distributors.
Thank you.
