while you are at Highwater, could you please ask what is wrong in the supply chain preventing them from providing little loafers and other clays to their customers? it has been almost a year since i became aware of the shortage of clay and it has only gotten worse. will you let us know if you get an answer, please? thank you.

if you are familiar with the cone 10 clay Loafer's Glory, you can see how they named a cone 6 white stoneware Little Loafer's. it is a highwater clay. sorry, old fingers do not like capital letters.

AH: spent several hours researching this issue yesterday. Overseas freight has tripled: so products like NZ kaolin, Grolleg kaolin, mahavir potash, and stains have seen 30-50% price increases. A few smaller ball clay mines have closed: although the large ball clay and fire clay mines are fully functional. The biggest issue is the ceramic tile industry both here and overseas have greatly increased demands. Lastly, the PVC (pipe) industry has been hard hit: and some areas are using clay pipe for emergency repairs. Pottery only accounts for 2-3% of the clay market: which also means we are on the bottom of the supply chain.

Apologies that I never got back to HighWater clays but they are an hour and a half drive from me so I don't get up there often. Which is why I suggested calling or emailing them. My last ceramic order I just did through the mail since gas is so expensive now. Stuff like that doesn't fit on my motorcycle very well.

karen, could you please correct your title on the strontium glaze question?
-
What should it say?
Thanks
-
two different ingredients are mentioned. the title says barium and the body of the post says lithium. which is it?
-
I think the title is accurate. I am substituting Stontium for Barium, like the title. Lithium is not an issue here. Thank you for checking! I appreciate the time you take to do this.
