Just found this material in the public domain. Good guide on how to choose the right pot.

Funny you should post again. I just made (not fired yet) my first "official" pot. No tools just a piece of 1"x2" (inches) and a wooden stick (to scar the edges when adding pieces)
I will post a picture when it dries.

It is a Amaco Low Fire White Art Clay No.25. It is a versatile clay and something easy for a beginner to work with.
I will be glazing it but I am unsure what color I will use. I am going to wait until after it has been fired before making that decision.

What equipment you use to fire it? Low Fire means fire on lower temp I guess. Thanks for being kind to answer all my questions, much appreciate that.

I work at 2 elementary schools and one of them has an electric kiln. So I am very fortunate in that regards but I do have to wait until her next clay project which will be soon. It's a waste of money to fire just one pot.
Low fire means it can be fired at a lower cone level. Cone 3 or 4. -> www.bigceramicstore.com/info/ceramics/cone-chart.html
