Well gee whiz and golly and I've been sanding and puzzling what-the-? is going on here for too long. Like, it must be ME. I am ready for A Change. I also seek a clay ssmoooooooth and white enough for me to change it to anything I want. I've tried Laguna's Dover White (something) but it has some grit in it. Oh, and wait til I tell Mike Baum what I read here. Back to the B-mix revelation (!!!!!): SO THIS EXPLAINS IT.

It used to be a stock clay, but they discontinued making it as stock so I special order it, but they usually have some on hand because I order it regularly. It's called "Shatz". It's whiter than b-mix, smooth and throws very well. It's not quite as porcelanous as Miller 15 and 16, but I think it's easier to throw (and less expensive) than they are. It's very forgiving in firing and I use it often in raku without any cracking. Here's the formula: 26 Neph sy 38 EPK 10 Jackson ball 26 Silica add: 4% bentonite Good luck!

I'm in the midst of choosing a clay body too. I live in Puerto Rico but get my clay from Link at Kentucky Mudworks! Got to love the internet...and USPS flat rate priority mail boxes! I'm about to start glaze testing, with B-mix and Standard's new 240 (Link special ordered it for me have you considered that body?) So far, I prefer the 240-- I really like how it throws. It will be interesting to see how both bodies take my cone 6 glazes. Looking forward to the rest of your reviews. Miri Hi Jeff:
