One of my favorite pots I’ve made. Starworks Catawba clay with some Puerto Rican Calcined Kaolin given to me by my lovely friend Amara Figueroa. Shino Glaze made from Feldspar collected in Burnsville, NC, kaolin from the Shenandoah Valley Virginia, and black iron oxide from Hiwassee VA.

Absolutely. That clay stretches farther and thinner than anything else I’ve thrown. It is a huge pain to seize all of the wood fibers out tho
