WH8 - White Stoneware Cone 6 is a versatile midrange stoneware clay that incorporates 10% fine white sand, enhancing its workability and strength. Known for its excellent plasticity, WH8 is ideal for throwing, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced potters. This clay works well with a variety of glazes, though testing with Amaco PC9, 10, and 11 is recommended for optimal results. WH8’s bright, colorful glaze outcomes and resistance to crazing make it suitable for functional ware and small outdoor tiles. For larger outdoor projects, a Rough version of WH8 is also available, offering additional texture and durability.

Wh8 is a strange clay, it has a high expansion, and if we get the absorption too low, We will see some shivering. With the absorption  around  3% we see no crazing or shivering.

There is a lot of variation in the absorption because the fluxes are quite active at cone 6, so a little hotter or cooler makes a big difference.

 Our  method of making the tiles, weighing the tiles and boiling is unique to us, and gives us  relative values that allow us to compare batch to batch.

 In the real world the clay works fine, fits most glazes, and is easy to use.  Coyote’s archies base glazes with high lithium content were shivering, in the past, but I think they had to cut the lithium down as it is $$$$$.
