A refractory material used to reduce shrinkage in clay bodies. Because of its interlocking crystal structure it also gives strength to clay bodies. 

A naturally mined iron titanium oxide mineral. It is generally black as sand, odorless, tasteless, opaque under a microscope, non-flammable and ins...

A water soluble, low temperature flux which lowers the fusion point of glazes and promotes a smooth melt. A source of sodium and boric oxide in gla...

This is a blend of minerals that closely simulates Barnard (Blackbird) Clay, a widely used clay that contains iron and manganese.

Alumina Oxide is an intermediate oxide, and is used to stabilize fluxes and glass formers that compose glazes. It is calcined and ground to 325 mesh.
