High-fire
pottery... cone 8-10... where skill, clay, glaze and fire combine to produce
the most stunning works of ceramic art. Different methods of firing to reach
these temperatures change the final appearance of both clay and glaze. These
clay samples are shown fired in both oxidation (electric, tile on right)
and reduction (fueled, tile on left) atmospheres. Highfire clays are considered
foodsafe, even when unglazed, when fired to their full maturity at cone
8-10.

Hair of the Dog (GE100)

| The
great George Wright developed this clay and sold it to Oregon potters
for years, and now it is our pleasure to bring it to you. A heavily
sanded body with coarse sand, and the addition of nylon fiber makes
it a tough sculpture body. It can stand up to just about any form of
abuse you can throw at it! Fires buff with moderate iron spot in reduction. (Sample fired in oxidation at cone 10.) |

River Dog (GE200)
 |
Credit
George Wright again with the humor and the discovery of this unique
body! The coarsest of all our sculpture clays, this body contains two
types of coarse sand plus nylon fiber. The character of this clay comes
from the basalt sand that bleeds out when it fires. The bleedout will
vary with the temperature and atmosphere of your firing. Fires buff-grey
with brown spots in oxidation. Reduction warms up the color and brings
out iron spots along with the chocolatey basalt melts.
This clay
requires wadding during firing, as you would use for a wood, salt or
soda firing. (See recipe for wadding below.) |

Wadding Recipe for Firing River Dog
1 part CH379 Greenstripe fire clay
1 part CH563 coarse grog
2 parts CH354 sand
Blend the ingredients dry, then mix with water to form a clay paste.
Form balls with the clay paste, and use Elmer's Glue to attach them
to the bottom of your greenware piece immediately before firing. |
