John thanks for this very informative! I have a question, do you know how to fix short Laguna Bmix clay? It's been having a huge problem with my production lately, Even with newer bags. Thank you!
Very informative. I use a clay body that I really like but it fires a bit too buff for my taste. Sometimes it turns out a nice light golden brown with a good reduction, sometimes it just stays buff. It has a wide firing range (^06 to ^10) so it is very versatile; I'm shooting for ^6 reduction. What would you recommend to darken the clay body a bit? I currently have Cedar Heights Redart, iron oxide, Alberta slip and yellow ocher in my larder. Thank you.
The easiest clay body I've ever done was 50/50 red and Hawthorne clay. That's it that's all of it it's a cone 6 red clay nice plasticity very very simple to I really don't like how dark it comes out in the end because glazes are problematic at least the ones that I tend to use
Thank you John! Another wonderful video... you mentioned being able to download university lectures. Did you use a particular website to find these lectures?
This is just my collected information. So I used books, magazines, in the old days. But I got the recipe collection on the Alfred Grinding Room site I gave the recipe too..at the end and in previous videos. But that Alfred course I downloaded at some point in the past 40 years...unfortunately can't remember where I found it...but when I find stuff I download them because they often go away.
Another excellent John Britt Lesson. Thank you.
Thanks for your help. Also thanks for not charging for your information. I appreciate your help totally!!!!!

Probably needs Epsom salts. Need a pug mill. But I would call Laguna...since they make it.

I would add redart
@@johnbrittpottery That's what I was leaning toward, thanks.
