Banta/burgundy Clay


LinR

Recommended Posts

I want to make a glaze which calls for banta clay which is no longer available.  I understand that the substitute is burgundy clay.  I can't find out much about that except lots of references to wine!  My pottery supplier does not have it in their catalogue.  Is there a substitute for burgundy?

Thanks for your help again.

Good idea  I have used this carbon trap shino (Paul Davis) successfully.  It was made by a friend and is no longer available to me  The batch recipe is;

 

soda ash            1630

OM4                   1300

EPK                    1500

Soda feldspar       930

neph sy               3860

banta                       10

 

Many thanks if anyone can help.

Looks like a Malcolm Davis Shino with a titch of red clay. There is so little of it that I would guess it isn't making much difference to the glaze. To get that tiny bit of iron that it is supplying I would just use 10 of whatever red clay you have access to and test that. I really don't know much about Shino's, hopefully someone who does will chime in here.
