Update over a year later: I still find it is easy to work with and a very good price. It's so wet it's almost impossible to throw tall with it without a lot of wedging 1st. Also, I do have some crazing going on sometimes with certain pieces since I only fire to cone 6. The majority of the work comes out very nice. I'm thinking the crazing is only on my thick pieces....kind of one of those things that will drive you crazy...hearing pinging but can't figure out exactly which one.....haha I'm just a hobby potter so it's okay. (Notice I said with my thick pieces :)) I like the buff a little better now but it seems a little stiff for me sometimes but I just add a little water and it turns out just fine by the next day.
The clay didn't come sealed in the bag properly like if you bought from Lagoona Clay brand, the clay wasn't unusable but it was close to getting leather hard, which made it harder to use than fresh wet clay straight out of a new bag. I used about half of a 25lb bag and my pieces turned out beautiful, very durable once glazed fired.
