Can anyone tell me where to find dry porcelain....or
is there possibly another more techinical term that I
do not know? For instance....Kaolin = china clay....
I want to order some raw materials but not sure what
to order or where to find it.
Thanks ahead of time
Tammy

Dear Tammy,
I know of no supplier that handles dry porcelain or any other ceramic
body in the dry stage. The materials you mention are essential
ingredients in a porcelain body and the terms are synonyms. Those
materials along with others necessary for formulating a porcelain clay may
be purchased at numerous suppliers such as Mile-Hi in Denver and Brackers
Good Earth in Lawrence, KS. I am curious as to what purpose you would put
the "dry porcelain"?

Tammy, order you the catalogue from Laguna. ($5) Their descriptions help
a lot. You are looking for raw materials. From there on you can look at
other books for more in-depth descriptions.
Regards.

Standard Ceramics Supply in Pittsburgh, PA, USA (Phone 412- 276-6333 M-F
eastern time business hours) sells their (moist) clay bodies dry. It costs a
few cents a pound more, but you can buy their claybodies dry in bags.
I usually keep one on hand so if I put too much water in my Peter Pugger I
can add more dry clay.

Porcelain is generally mixed from a recipe
consisting of several raw materials. You
can find a recipe and order those materials,
or you can find a supplier which pre-mixes
and sells their recipe in dry-bagged form.
Buying just the raw materials will give you
more choices, since you can make several
variations of various recipes in small
batches, then mix a lot of the one you like
best. It'll be cheaper than pre-mixed, too.
