Ceramics and Pottery Making
Kinds of Clay Used
There are many kinds of clay, natural and synthetic, used for different purposes, in ceramic work.
Four varieties are recommended. Each is prepared for a special type of construction, but either the gray or terra cotta pottery clay can be used for all of the projects.
Any of the clays de-scribed here may be purchased from the sources named, but the beginner should investigate his own local sources.
Clays also vary according to geographical location and one may find an especially fine clay in his own community.

Jewelry clay.
The requirements for a jewelry clay are quite different from those for pottery or sculpture clay.
As the objects to be made are smaller in volume, the detail must be finer and sharper, the colors on the finished piece should be more brilliant, and the firing temperature need not be as high.
Therefore, a fine-grained, white clay, with a high percentage of flint, is recommended because it gives brilliancy to the glaze colors and fires at a low temperature.
Two pounds of moist jewelry clay is ample for one person for the projects suggested in this book, but it is usually not sold in less than five-pound lots. The extra can be used for casting and for white slip in decoration.
