Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: clay, production

So we started our Saturday in Minneapolis with a trip to Continental Clay.
The same clay manufacturer that I typically order my clay from. I’ve never been
to their warehouse & store before, so it was kind of exciting. Plus, it was nice to
have a coupon and a big car to bring back hundreds of pounds of clay! I got more
stoneware, B-clay and soda clay. Something for everything and every firing.
Some for my next soda kiln, some for cone 10 reduction, some for who knows what?!
While there, I also got a very quick tour of the warehouse and their clay mixing area.
There’s a LOT of clay there… I made a dent in their inventory – and my car was now
dragging a few inches lower than it was before!

I have enough of a Continental Clay catalog problem. Can’t imagine how I would ever get out of there.

Even worse… or should I say better?… I had a coupon for 25% off. Can you say “kid in a candy store”???
