Ceramic Materials Workshop's consulting team are rockstars! Their team is the most knowledgeable and is the best for distilling "graduate level" ceramic chemistry for every range of potter! They were paramount in making our clay even better, informing on production process and chemistry. They were always quick to respond and easy to talk to, making the whole process a breeze. We're so glad to be working with them and would definitely recommend them to any other ceramic business or professional potter.
