Recommended clay for throwing large altered forms


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I am wondering if you guys have a good white clay body recommendation for throwing large forms that I will then alter.

I asked this already in another post and was told to try Soldate 60 which I will be doing I am just curious if there is a white/lighter clay body that’s good for what I’m trying to do. 
 

cheers T

I'm using a white stoneware, IMCO "DC 3-5" ...of the several white stoneware clays I've tried, my glazes fit it; the others*, I had crazing.
How suitable it is for large forms? ...it's fine for as large as I go. It does dry well, in that it holds its shape and is less prone to cracking than many others.
 

*My glazes fit one other white stoneware I've tried, Clay Planet's "Venus White" - IMCO is closer, and we go by there several times a year...
