Dry Materials

Tile 6 Kaolin offers high plasticity, white fired color, and high green strength.

Kyanite is used as a low-thermal-expansion grog in raku bodies.

Lithium Carbonate at high temperatures it is an active flux, allowing the use of more alumina and silica in alkaline glazes to increase their hardness.

Often introduced into glazes as a high fire flux and matting agent.

In an alkaline glaze, a blue-purple or plum color can be obtained. In leadless glazes, a purple-brown may result. It is a power flux.

Particularly useful in medium-range temperatures in both clays and glazes

A clay material which contains yellow iron oxide.

Great all round pottery plaster!

'Redart is a red firing earthenware of moderate plasticity and low shrinkage.

Rutile is the mineral name for natural crystals of titanium dioxide.

Soda Ash is an active glaze flux.

The essential glass-forming oxide.

The most popular deflocculant used in casting slips for many years.

A source of lithium in glazes.

Strontium carbonate is often recommended as a substitute for barium to produce matte glazes.

Talc is used widely in low-fire clay bodies.

Tin Oxide gives opaque and semiopaque white to glazes.

An opacifier that also helps create a somewhat matt surface.

The main source of calcium oxide in glazes and an important high-fire flux.

Used in clays and glazes as a source of calcium oxide.

A high-fire flux that reduces thermal expansion.

Generally used where semiopaque glaze is desired.
