    Good throwing body, some impurities
    Affordable, quick delivery, and good throwing body. However, during clean up I found a lot of heavy sediment in the bottom of my water bucket and had concerns of impurities within the clay. After firing two pieces made on the wheel my concerns were verified. I attached the photo of my bisque piece made with only this clay, which has been fired to 04 cone at this point, revealing pits were impurities fired off. A good glaze will fill these areas so my concern is low, but a good review is in need for this product.
