Porcelain for the People

Friday November 6, 2009

Porcelain for the People, by Matt and Dave's Clays.

You have to love a clay body that is named "Porcelain for the People"...or at least look twice. Especially when the label has a Mad Potter-George Ohr lookalike staring fiercely over the heads of Chinese pottery militants (Do you remember your porcelain history?) bearing a banner with the clay's name.

Ok. We have established that Matt, Dave, and Bill (of Matt and Dave's Clays LLC) have a sense of humor. But can they make good clay?

These guys know the science, no doubt about it. And the porcelain they sent me to try out shows that science makes pretty phenomenal clay, too. Check out my Porcelain for the People review for the full scoop.

Ordered a sample a few months back and have to agree, I loved, loved, loved this clay. It feels real good and fires white! I think my biggest pro for this was its usability right out of the bag. Sometimes porcelains can be hard at first, but this was perfect and could just take it out of the bag and use it. When I move to using porcelain again this is my clay :)
