Alexander Kamola –
I use Rod’s Bod for handbuilding. It took a while to get to know the clay. It rehydrates very quickly and easily, so best to keep water use low. Easy to work. Very sensitive to fine modeling of form. It is not as strong as Little John, but has better feel and delicacy.
Alexander Kamola –
Iron flecks in body shows up nicely through most glazes.
Tolerates very thin walls.
