Playing in the mud is fun and stimulating

Scrap clay
Vase made from scap clay
I brought some clay from the bay area when I moved to Henderson, NV. When I was throwing at my old home I put all the clay scraps in one barrel. So I had some clay that was a combination of Sculpture Raku, Sanata Barbara, T2 and even some Black Mountain. This clay was mixed together by hand. I used up that clay by throwing a large vase. The above picture shows the vase after bisque firing. It's obvious that the clay was not uniformly mixed.

Glazed

Glaze can cover up problems. Here is the same pot after it was glaze fired.
