As we all know, the only thing consistent about ceramics is its inconsistency!

Raw materials, clays, glazes, and kilns change over time. Remember Albany Slip?

If you want technical information
If you want to cut production costs
If you want to lower loss rates; if you want to develop a glaze
If you want to become independent of "stock" clay bodies from suppliers
If you want to buy raw materials and clays from their source
If you want to develop a clay body for throwing, hand building, slip casting, ram pressing, or jiggering operations
If you want to develop a ceramic product
If you want to change a firing temperature, try reduction firing, oxidation firing, salt/soda firing, wood firing, Raku firing, pit firing, lusters, decals, or fuming
If your glaze crawls, shivers, crazes, pinholes, blisters, dimples, runs, or just doesn't work
If your clay body fires too light, too dark, too absorbent, shrinks, cracks or just causes problems
