   From Alfred University comes the Porcelain for the People – a revolutionary new porcelain that acts like a stoneware.  We’ve tried it here at Atlanta Clay and I have to say we love it and we think you will too. We have both the cone 7 – 10 version (Porcelain for the People) and the cone 5 – 7 version (The Coup). Come in, grab a bag and try it for yourself –  whether you’re a beginner or a professional - we promise you’ll love it!

   Also available are the Cast Away Slip and the Stuck Up Slip – an amazing attaching slip that eliminates the need for scoring, matches the body perfectly, is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of moisture states. It’s an industry secret and man does it work! We put it through the gauntlet here at Atlanta Clay – check out our results below.  Daphne threw with the clay and attached handles and appliques and Deanna handbuilt with it in her traditional, torturous way – no cracks so far!!

I attached handles at a nearly bone dry state to cups that were leatherhard… days later I decided to attach the appliques, which were wet, to the cups (bone dry by that time). I’m used to working with porcelain and expected everything to crack off…. it didn’t. Out of seven teacups I didn’t lose a single attachement.  And that’s crazy.” – Daphne

“My method of construction is quite abusive (to most clay bodies). I work upside down and then right side up so I’m accustomed to a very long wait time – but I was very impressed with the wet strength of this clay.”             - Deanna

  

   Did we mention the blinding whiteness of this clay? Because it is blindingly white. We think we’ve started a long, fruitful love affair with this clay – and we’re not ashamed to admit it! Come in today and try a bag for yourself!
