Help my clay is plucking! | For Flux Sake: 116

Have you ever had small pieces of an unglazed foot
ring stick to a kiln shelf? This bummer of a phenomenon is called
plucking, and today the gang talk about how and why it happens.
They also answer a listener’s question about increasing plasticity
in halloysite porcelains and take a trip to Materials Corner to
discuss the rumors swirling around EPK production. Do you have
