When blended with fire clay , no problem. the red dirt is loaded with fine mica and I think that keeps it from slumping more than it does. But at cone 10 it starts moving and the pots begin to deform around the wads that I put on all of the pots. Especially plates. Do you have any mica in your wild clay?klineolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577525633756972853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-11019611711749469002008-02-14T22:29:00.000+00:002008-02-14T22:29:00.000+00:00Hi guys.

I'm hoping to get two through before the end of March, although it's a tall order as I'll have to bisc with wood.<BR/>Mark's stuff's cool isn't it? It's good to have him around because mark-making comes easy to him so it helps to free me up - and I can pinch his ideas! We're going to try and make stuff together every Wednesday night. By contrast Michael, my days tend to be quiet and focused and my evenings with Mark, noisy and blurred!<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing what the clay does. What temp does your local stuff go to Michael?doug Fitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413690733976558551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-35617172240228718442008-02-14T02:14:00.000+00:002008-02-14T02:14:00.000+00:00Hey Doug, I guess you're getting close to having a...Hey Doug, I guess you're getting close to having a load ready. ? <BR/>I like Marks pots too.

It's always quiet, and I tend to have better focus.klineolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577525633756972853noreply@blogger.com
