Brilliant tutorial.
Does it matter if the sawdust is hardwood or softwood?

 

[acw_akkermans]

I don't think it matters very much whether it's soft or hard-wood saw-dust. Someone earlier mentioned, they could get a kiln to a temp. of above a thousand... You kight, but if you want to use your pottery in a fire, you don't want to fire it to that temperature. At that temperature, it basicly turns into stone. If it is fired at that temperature, the earthenware will not be flexible enough anymore to allow uneven heating and cooling. It will then break.

Thanks for the great tutorial. : :biggthump

I was also wondering if I could use clay from the beach. It is visible at very low tide. Would there be too much salt in it?

Cheers
