ceramic
not to be mixed up with claychels
Materials:
Clay:
White clay is Laguna B-Mix Cone 5
Red clay is Laguna Hawaiian Red
The tan clay is a recycled mix mostly containing these two.
Another clay I got ahold of is Laguna Speckled Buff.
Underglaze:
The majority of the time I've been using Amaco Velvet underglaze. At some point my college switched to using Western underglaze because it's cheaper, but I think it's way lower quality and I had issues with it chipping, bubbling, being streaky...
Glaze:
I'm gonna type up a huge thing about glazes in the near future but almost all of them were housemade at the college; some of them were made by me when i worked there :) two of them were storebought and they will be linked on the pieces that use them. They're in the descriptions of these pieces mostly for my own reference
