- 2. used to give texture and workability
- 3. the different materials used in compounding and blending pottery bodies
- 4. it is usual to blunge the clays, fluxes and hardeners together
- 7. clay for plasticity and raw strength
- 9. is fluxed during the firing and then gives its hardness to the resulting glass
- 10. used in bodies are feldspathoids such as cornish stone
