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.

Pottery clay.
There are two kinds-gray stoneware and terra cotta clay-which will produce a good plastic, workable pottery clay.
If both can be procured, they will increase the variety of possibilities available in decoration and colors.
The stoneware clay fires a light buff and permits the use of lighter and brighter colors in glazing.
The terra cotta clay fires a reddish-brown and consequently darkens all glaze colors and this should be taken into account when choosing clay for a project.
It is especially suited to sculpture, and is best left unglazed as the warm color and mat surface produce an effective appearance.
Fifty pounds of moist clay of either kind, or twenty-five pounds of each, will be ample for one person for the projects suggested in this book.
