I usually use a clay body called ‘lava fleck’ which reacts beautifully with the glaze I use, and I leave a portion of my pieces naked - so the clay is really important to the work.
here’s the problem - it’s out of stock and I have an order (my first!) from a shop which I need to fulfil ASAP.
does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to recreate the flecked surface using a different clay. I have minimal stores of lava fleck, which I could mix. But I really don’t want to loose the effect of the fleck! Or does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative?
Thanks!
Lou
