Hi Laurie,

I've never made a pizza stone, so I'm not much help in that department.
But if you are looking to make one for yourself, you might consider
using a kiln shelf instead. I' ve used one for years, and it works
wonderfully.

Try the Clayart archives:

Best,
Lori L.

Buy a Thorley kiln shelf. It's a lot cheaper than what you buy at a
kitchen store or from Pampered Chef and it's essentially they same thing.

Or are you wanting to make pizza stones to sell? That was the impression I
got, though the answers haven't reflected that impression.
