matt99fish Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hi all, Just getting back into pottery and have some technical questions I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. I'm looking to make pots for cooking out of a cone 04 terracotta body I have. I know that tagines and some other types of pottery successfully do this but I've heard that the shock resilience is due to the high mica content and that a standard terracotta will crack just like any other clay body not meant for the stove. Is there another temper that l could add to my current clay body to fill the role or is it not that simple? I know the best answer is to just start testing but I'm hoping to save a bit of time and heartbreak. Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
