hi nancy,

first a short note on standard's 245. i used it for years.
yep, it went down hill! i have switched to 13AZ from
ceramic supply (lodi, nj). someone there told me that
it is one of their clay mixes from tuckers (they
have a great rep for clays).

ok, now for workshops! you should check out Richard
Aerni's work study opportunity in rochester! this
is a tremendous opportunity at a very reasonable
price! i am thrilled to be attending beginning 9/18.
i believe there is still room. here is his original
post regarding the subject:

Hi Lauren,

It is true that Tuckers mixes some of the clay bodies for Ceramic Supply.
The 13AZ is one that they supply the recipe for.

There are others that are Tuckers recipes.
