I have some interesting clay in my garden with which I have made nice pots fired to 1250 ° C . Suddenly the clay I’m digging up is a little different and it can’t quite handle the temperature. I tried adding feldspar but it’s still very unreliable . I’m just wondering what would happen if I added some kaolin .
I’d be grateful for advice

Hello all ,
I have some interesting clay in my garden with which I have made nice pots fired to 1250 ° C . Suddenly the clay I’m digging up is a little different and it can’t quite handle the temperature. I tried adding feldspar but it’s still very unreliable . I’m just wondering what would happen if I added some kaolin .
