Christmas is coming, and clay/glaze shortages are aplenty... I've run out of all my normal clay, and all that remains is an unmarked, untouched, twisty-tied bag of clay that I have NO RECOLLECTION of purchasing. I don't have time to test run it in a high/mid fire kiln load, and I have a few more pieces that need to be made. Is there any way I can figure out what cone it is without firing it? I've narrowed it down to either being Laguna's cone 5 half and half (but there's usually a sticker label), or an Aardvark low fire throwing clay. It's a light beige-y grey, and very smooth. Any suggestions? I'd REALLY rather not melt a bunch of nice dishes all over the bottom of the kiln shelf

New-ish potter here! I've taken many community classes before but am just starting a home studio (got wheel and kiln 2nd hand). Starting to gather materials now and am wondering if you have to match brand of clay with brand of glaze? I assume you don't have to? For example, I have ordered some Laguna WC-608 stoneware clay but have come across some Amaco brand glazes that I really like the look of. How do I tell if these two products will fit well together? Thank you in advance, I'm sure I'll have lots more questions in the near future!

This one is bright and fun. I made with the same technique as the other poppy vase, but since it was so tiny it was very little trouble. Interior is glazed in Laguna's Dynasty Red.© Copyright Giselle No. 5 Ceramics (Giselle Massey) 2015, all rights reserved

Wheel thrown in Speckled Buff. I then carved wildflowers and applied Duncan Bright Kiwi underglaze to the grass and stems. After bisque firing I glazed the inside in Laguna's Dynasty Red, the flowers in their Blackberry Wine and Peach Blush with streaks of the red. All over is clear. This was the first thing that sold on the first day of my Open Studio show.© Copyright Giselle No. 5 Ceramics (Giselle Massey) 2015, all rights reserved

This is my very first time throwing four pounds of clay. As I gain skill I know I would likely be able to make a larger pot, but I was extremely happy with how this turned out. This was also my first attempt at making a matching saucer and it fits ... well ... like it was made for it. The surface is decorated with a combination of Hawaiian Red slip and white stoneware slip.© Copyright Giselle Massey 2015, all rights reserved
