Why #112?

Hi again - again! Hehe!

Last question for tonight!

I have been reading through the group, and find that many of you have
problems with clay #112, still several of you still insist on using it. I'm
not being fresh, here, mind you - I am just very curious as to why such a
problematic clay still remains preferred by some.

As I am still in the process of finding "my" clays, I am looking forward to
learning more from y'all :-)

I still use #112 clay because I love the effects I get with some
glazes with it. I especially like the specks that show through some
glazes and I like the warm beige of the unglazed parts. Also, I think
it's easier to work with than some other clays. It seems to be more
forgiving if I use too much water or over work it. It seems to have a
substantial body. These are just my opinions. I'd like to know why
some others still like it too.
