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.

Granite is Tough; Taking Correct Care of It Isn't

Granite is Tough; Taking Correct Care of It Isn't
Crystal like granite countertops and spa type bathrooms built with natural stone are all the rage in home interiors, but not surprisingly it will lose its investment value fast if not properly maintained.
Up to now, only ammonia based cleaners were the granite cleaning choice outside of soap and water for homeowners, regardless of the fact that these products in reality damage natural stone.
Marble Master's stone cleaning product line safely cleans and conditions countertops, floors and wall surrounds made of granite, marble, travertine and other natural stone. For more information, visit www.marblemasteruk.com
Ammonia-based products remove the seal of natural stone, allowing stains to penetrate the surface and set more easily, said Edward Green, Technical Director of Marble Master. The damage caused by these products increases the chance that the stone will have to be refurbished or replaced, which is a costly undertaking.
Natural stone is hard-wearing, but still needs appropriate care to continue its inherent beauty. When treated correctly, it is a low maintenance surface that will hold its gleam longer than any other surface known to man, and can enhance the value of your home.
Marble Master's set of non ammoniated, inexpensive products features its Daily Cleaner, Daily Cleaner Wipes, Polish/Protector, Stone Soap and Penetrating Sealers. The line protects and extends the life of stone countertops and gives customers high quality cleaning power. The line is non toxic, safe on all food preparation surfaces, features a streak-free formula and is easy to use.
Marble Master Products are also effective when used on natural quartz surfaces and engineered stone and can be safely used on ceramics or porcelain tile and grout. This exclusive product line, which contains the highest grade of quality ingredients, is user friendly, non toxic and safe for the environment.
The Marble Master Stone Care System is specially formulated and developed by stone care professionals with more than 40 years of experience in the natural stone industry. For more information or to purchase the products, visit www.marblemasteruk.com or call 020 8807 8889.

Sculpture clay.
This clay is particularly desirable for making sculpture because it is stronger, more rigid, and can take more strain and stress than the other clays.
It contains an addition of grog (burnt fireclay ground up).
Sculpture clay can be bought prepared, or made by mixing grog-about 20% by weight-with either one of the pottery clays.
Grog can be procured from a ceramic supply house in buff or terra cotta. Twenty-five pounds of moist sculpture clay is ample for one person for the projects suggested in this book.
