Clays for Wood Firing
This is an ongoing project to test different clays that are fired unglazed in an anagama kiln, to see and hopefully begin to understand how and why they behave.
For each clay the aim is to:
• Document photo(s) of the fired clay and the firing the pics came from, together with any problems such as bloating or collapsing
• Supplier’s details and their description of the clay
• Details of the clay body composition (where available)
• Link to results of Tim’s clay analysis (where available)
