Gerstley Borate is a sodium-calcium-borate compound used in ceramics as a low and mid-range temperature flux. It is essentially a source of boron in glazes, and acts as a melting agent. It also can act somewhat as an opacifier and prevent crazing.

Spodumene (substitute) is a silicate mineral often referred to as lithium feldspar. Commonly used in ceramics as a source of lithia which is used as a powerful flux especially when used with potash and soda feldspars.
C$74.00
Wollastonite is a natural calcium silicate used to reduce shrinkage in clay bodies and glazes during firing. Can aid in the fast firing of clay bodies and can be employed to replace silica and whiting.
C$7.50
Silica (Flint) 200 Mesh is a purified version of this much used material of glaze and claybody formulation. In clay and glazes, Flint provides the melting, or glassifying agents in a claybody that allow the material to fuse together.
C$7.70
Pottery Plaster No. 1 produces break-resistant, smooth wearing molds for slip casting, jiggering, and press molds. The industry standard for making slip casting molds for ceramicware, sanitaryware, dinnerware, and fine china.
C$12.65
Silica (Flint) 400 Mesh is a purified version of this much used material of glaze and claybody formulation. In clay and glazes, Flint provides the melting, or glassifying agents in a claybody that allow the material to fuse together.

Dolomite is a type of milled limestone that is a useful source of both calcium and magnesium in ceramic glazes.
C$5.00
Bone Ash (TriCalcium Phosphate) is source of calcium and phosphate traditionally used in bone china for translucency and lowering the maturing temperature.
C$11.15
Nepheline Syenite has been a used in the ceramic industry for many years, and is known for the whiteness it imparts to clay bodies and increasing low to mid cone glaze firing ranges.
C$8.75
Ravenscrag Slip is a silty low iron clay, it applies evenly, drains drip-free, dries hard, does not settle. Mixed with water alone, makes a nice semi-matte cone 10 clear glaze.
C$5.75
Feldspar Potash (Custer) is one of the primary feldspars used in ceramics. Made up of silica and alumina combined with sodium and potassium oxides, it is used in both clay and glaze formulas.
C$6.65
This is a ceramic grade calcined Rutile, typically used when called for in glaze recipes. Rutile, a tan colourant containing a small amount of iron, is a natural source of titanium dioxide used in glazes.
C$16.80
Bentonite is a fine powder that is a grey-tan color. As typical for ceramic use, this is a sodium bentonite and is a common additive to both glaze and clay. Use in small percentages to aid clay body plasticity and glaze suspension.
C$9.85
Hydro-Stone® Gypsum Cement is especially suitable where high strength and resistance to water absorption are necessary. It is ideal for applications in both the tooling & prototyping and art & statuary categories.
C$50.00
Alumina Hydrate is a fine granular white powder that remains in suspension better in glaze slurries and has better adhesive qualities than Alumina Calcined. Used in glazes to increase hardness, aid stabilization and help resist crazing.
C$11.15
Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate), a fine granular material, is an active flux and also serves an important function as a deflocculant used to thin slips and slurries. It increases strength and workability and reduces shrinkage.
C$9.35
Silicon Carbide is a reduction agent used in glazes. It can be used to make crater glazes. Silicon Carbide can also can be added to clay bodies to give black speckling.
C$12.00
Mulcoa Kaolin Grog 35 Mesh is a medium-grained calcined mullite grog. This grog can be added to throwing and sculpture clay bodies to increase working strength and reduce shrinkage as well as an aid in drying thick pieces.
C$19.50
Alumina Calcined is an intermediate oxide used to stabilize fluxes and glass formers that compose glazes affecting mattness and brilliance. Adds strength and prevents devitrification.
C$14.50
Hydrocal® White Gypsum Cement (Plaster) offers twice the compressive strength of other plasters. Stiffening rate very rapid after setting action begins.
C$60.00
Petalite, a lithium feldspar with a high silica content, is used both in glazes and clay bodies to help decrease thermal shock.
C$15.75
Magnesium Sulphate, also known as Epsom Salts, is a flocculant and can be used to thicken a glaze to improve adhesion to non-porous surfaces. Also acts as a suspension agent in slip or glazes. Adding too much can have an adverse effect.
C$7.60
Iron Chromate is used in glazes to produce gray (with feldspar), brown (with zinc), red (with tin) or black depending on the base glaze and percentage and other colouring oxides present. Often used in underglazes, engobes and clay bodies.
C$11.10
Mulcoa Kaolin Grog 20 Mesh is a coarse-grained calcined mullite grog. This grog can be added to throwing and sculpture clay bodies to increase working strength and reduce shrinkage as well as an aid in drying thick pieces.
