LET'S TRY AGAIN-9 REDCLAY IN UK?
Hi Anybody
I'm trying to source red clays that will fire to 1270/1280 that are accessible within a reasonable distance from London. Found 'keupers red' but need to go a little higher for my glazes and porosity considerations. thanks pete

Hi pete
I have tried mixing Keupers red in with othe stoneware clays and it fire OK to cone 10 in reduction. All depends on how red you want the red to be! I have just been updating the link section of http://www.ukpotters.co.uk which only lists UK websites (with a few exceptions) Several suppliers are listed but don't know about your area. If you want to try a clay Potclays or Valentines (maybe others) will send you 1Kg samples of any of their clays (free). Good luck Pierre Brayford "pete" wrote in message ...
