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.

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.

Cryolite is a powdered material derived from granite. It is a strong fluxing agent with a very low melting point. Cryolite is used in frits and glazes, and is a source of aluminum and insoluble sodium.

Barnard Slip has historically been used by potters as a source of iron in dark firing glazes. Also referred to as Blackbird Slip, Banard Clay.
C$18.85
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
Borax Decahydrate is a water soluble, low temperature flux which lowers the fusion point of glazes and promotes a smooth melt. A source of sodium and boric oxide in glazes.
C$13.55
Bone Ash (TriCalcium Phosphate) is source of calcium and phosphate traditionally used in bone china for translucency and lowering the maturing temperature.
C$13.55
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$11.25
In ceramics, Manganese Granular is used primarily in clays and glazes to achieve fired speckle (including the brick industry). This is the same material as manganese dioxide powder, it is simply not ground to a fine powder.
C$11.20
Macaloid is geologically and chemically similar to Bentonite. Used as a suspension agent in glazes, Macaloid can increase the drying rate of water suspended glazes.
C$18.75
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$13.35
Granular Ilmenite is an iron titanium oxide mineral and can be used in small amounts to produce dark brown specks in clay bodies and certain specialized glazes.
C$9.40
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$22.00
Boric Acid is a water-soluble boron mineral. Boric Acid is used as a B2O3 source in the formulation of frits and glazes.
C$4.55
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.
