Okay Matt- Now that I've tried the high temp porcelain, you're gonna make me try the mid-temp stuff too?? DAMN YOU!!
My apprentices went gaga over the cream cheese you sent last month. I threw a few teabowls and mugs out of it. Had some technical questions for you... ideas, etc... but I'll hold off till we see the new mid-fire stuff!!
Looking forward to writing a proper review of your mud. So far so good!
Ha!
Glad everyone liked it. But I really want to come up with a metaphor other than "cream cheese" That is the 3rd time I had heard that in 2 days. Cream Cheese would be really floppy on the wheel ; P Porcelain for the people is tough!
The Coup will be exactly the same as Porcelain for the People. In terms of feeling and performance. I have just tweaked the fluxes to peak at Cone 5.
To really annoy you I am currently working on a Cone 04 version right now too.
I want the ^04 version! Yippee -- wish it were red though.
Reds have been researched. But I can't make them now as they would contaminate my process, and I want to keep everything, clean and the red clays don't play well with others.
Let me ask you, would you be interested in a vitrified Low fire body? I'm getting some promising results, but I'm not sure vitrification is viable at low temperature.
I would love a vitrified lowfire body. Tucker clays makes an earthenware vitrified body - but I've had a difficult time with that body & attachments. The frustration level has me looking elsewhere -- I understand the contamination problem, but I really like using the red clay bodies.
I would try your lowfire though & see how my glazes like it.
Why you hatin' on the cream cheese?
How about chevre as a metaphor?
Your porcelain certainly was nowhere near as floppy as many I've tried. Generated a ton of throwing slurry almost immediately. Nice shrinkage. Even with uneven drying there was no cracking. Nice.
Seems like you have the particle size distribution down! Nice.
I'd be curious to see how different glaze fit is on the c6 body, as opposed to the c10 body you sent. We've had some crazing, but nothing more than say Bmix.
Very cool!
Put me on the o4 waiting list. i've been looking for an excuse to go white and i'll be stoked to get started with your clay.
-good lookin blog, Matt.
Hey Steve,
Good to hear from you.
I'll be happy to hook you up with the 04 white when I get it out.
The pots are looking Damn Sexy these days, my man.
i'd be quite interested in the midrange porcelain for the people. e-mail me when it's ready, please.
