Grog particles from a sculpture clay body
Tuesday 3rd June 2014
Here is the oversize (from Plainsman MSculp) on the four coarsest screens we use to do particle size distributions on insight-live.com/glossary/11">clay bodies. There are very few intermediate sizes between the very fine particles of the base body and the coarse particles of the grog and sand. Contrary to what I have thought up until now, lately we have found that this approach makes for greater plasticity, better drying and less water splitting than if the grog and body contain a range of coarse to very fine particles. It also feels smooth on the wheel.
