KPS
PORCELAIN CLAY BODIES
KPS has been in business since 1974 with the same
owners. We are essentially a family business and know what
it is to make a living by doing pottery. Even if it is just a
hobby, it is important not to have your clay and equipment "fight"
with you. We have formulated our moist clay bodies through years
of experience and customer feed back. Clay should be fun and work
with you to be what you finally envision for your creations.
We never substitute ingredients,
looking for a cheaper way to make clay. We buy premium ingredients
because we know that you will have fewer problems. We take pride
in our clay bodies and hope they enhance your creativity. We perform
extensive tests, including firing through glaze completion of
real pots, to ensure that we are making a consistent and qualilty
product before you get it.
- KPS Clays are tested and re-tested. We are vigilant about
the quality clays we produce.
- We employ only mature adults that have worked for us for
many years.
- Premium materials are used at all times.
- Ingredients are screened.
- Our clays are carefully dry mixed and water-metered.
- We use a penetrometer to test the density of each clay batch.
- We do many tests to determine plasticity while the clay is
pugging.
- Actual pots are thrown, handbuilt or sculpted from each clay.
- We use a highly respected ceramic testing firm to produce
test bars.
- KPS clays are made by potters for potters.
- KPS Clays conform to ASTM
D-4236 standards and are certified non-toxic.
All KPS Raku Clay s contain Kyanite to ease the thermal
shock encountered in the normal raku process.
