Hello Michael Wendt,

The porcelain made from Helmer Kaolin that you sold me is wonderful so
far. Holds it's shape on the wheel, perfect consistency, doesn't
require much water to throw... I am easily able to make cups and bowls
with it that need no trimming at all (except, naturally, the very
bottom of the foot). This clay is so forgiving that it makes even a
rank amateur like myself look as though he has a bit of skill on the
wheel. And of course the price is right too. I am very much looking
forward to seeing how it looks fired, especially in our soda kiln and
our future wood kiln.


THANK YOU, good sir.

Best regards from Alabama,
jonbyler
