STARworks Clay

We have been testing and manufacturing local NC clay since March 2009. Currently, we are offering five major blends of clay made in our processing facility.

STARwhite 10; a cone 10 white clay; you can fire it up to cone 12; very good for salt, wood and gas firing.

STARwhite 6; a cone 6 white clay

Okeeweemee 10; light brown with cone 10 reduction; works well in wood, gas and electric kilns

Okeeweemee 6; buff colored cone 6 clay

Grogeeweemee 10; light brown with cone 10 reduction; 20% more grog than Okeeweemee 10; good for hand-building or slab work; works well in wood, gas and electric kilns

MUDTOOLS by Michael Sherrill Shaped like the traditional kidney rib, they are the best, toughest and most consistent sponges available to potters today.

• Flexible ribs are available in 6 shapes and 4 degrees of hardness.
• Stainless steel ribs and scrapers are the finest cutlery grade.
• Shredders are ideal for shaping or reducing leather hard clay.

STARworks Lamps and Biodiesel Lamp Oil

We are now selling lamps and GLO (green lamp oil) in the shop. STARworks Biofuels produces the fuel from used fryer oil collected from local restaurants and bottles it for use as lamp oil, as well as a nontoxic diesel fuel replacement. In the picture, you can see a pint of lamp oil and some lamps we made. GLO also works great as a renewable replacement for petroleum-based tiki torch fuels.
