Dear Linda,

I tried to contact Campbell's (blackboard or something??) but could not. Page off or something like that - will try again tomorrow. Black clay sounds fabulous to me.

However...since I am deeply disappointed shall we have a glass of inferior but very friendly wine when the bar is open on the 6th floor...say about 5:01 pm? My treat. :-) (or call me at Rm 212)

You are such a warm, wonderful person - NCECA is certainly an even greater experience because of you (general consensus, not just me) !

VA has a clay that is mahogany-colored when fresh and
black when fired to cone 6 in oxidation AND which has
no manganese. I saw it here at NCECA and yes, it's
black.


I don't see it listed on their website, so I have
emailed the supplier for more information.

It might help if others inquired about the clay too.

Here's the website: http://claysupply.com/

More later,
