Joyce and others have asked for more
than one box on the first trial.
I have suggested to everyone that they
try one box first to see if they like it.
The Post Office is ending the flat rate
priority mail program in May so that
still gives everyone a chance to try the
clay and get a fair amount.
Many keep asking how much it costs
for shipping.
Flat rate boxes are $8.10 for as much as
will fit in the box and 38 lbs of our clay fits.
The 38 lbs costs $9.40 so the whole cost
per box to try it is $17.50 total while the
flat rate is still available.
Who knows what we will do after it ends?

OK.
Send me one 38 pounder and I'll send you the check. Want the check
first?

I'm assuming this is a ^10 porcelain, and with the inclusion of the
Helmer, it is probably meant for gas, wood and salt.
Do you have any idea how it fires in oxidation? How is the
translucency, and is it more of a yellow or pure white than a blue cast?

Lois,
We use Helmer because we mine it locally and that is
a major savings. If other people are near any local
clays, I always recommend they try to incorporate
those as well as other local materials into their work.
This body fires ^ 10 well in all atmospheric
conditions.
I can't say if it will work in wood since we fire gas.
It is meant for fast fire and short soak times because
that is the way our kilns fire... cold to cold in 24
hrs,
and will tolerate modest under and over firing.
Our kilns hit ^11 in the midline when ^10 hits
at the top and bottom.

I was just curious, because I am always on the lookout for new and
interesting porcelains (and also merino wool, but I digress). The quest for
the most beautiful and translucent body is kind of a hobby at this point.
Every year or so the bug hits me to try new bodies. I generally fire to ^6,
but will go to ^10 for my tests. Oxidation. I've only used Helmer for
flashing slip in an anagama firing, which is why I was asking.
I have 10 lbs of Helmer, and have not tried it in the bodies or casting
slips I have been making in the studio.

Do you still have clay left? I'd like a box to try out. Please let me know the cost now that shipping costs have changed. Thanks for sharing the clay and your wisdon on line during the year.
