    No I dropped out of clayart -- the volume of posts was more than I wanted to deal with. I'd like to see that recipe.

    The four you liked were on Laguna #80 brown clay, my favorite non-white stoneware.  The blue is Light Stormy Blue (from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes) layered on top of C Harris Temoku. The other combo was C.H.T. partially layered over Rutile Matte

    Hello,
    The glazes that I use are glazes I have been developing over the years. In collage I fired ^10 and I had to bring my glazes down to ^6 so they are still in development. There are three different glazes that I use, base is a Iron sat. then I use a Cobalt sat. with a Ash glazes. I had to change my clay body also and I am not getting the same results, not that they are bad but I now have to begin the process all over.

    To actually answer your question, I think there would be little or no difference in substituting the two kaolins for each other.  I happened to have both, so I didn't have to substitute. Going back to the Bailey orange red, I don't have the Steven Hill recipe to compare to the Ron Roy version you sent me.  US pigments has high purity red iron oxide in case you haven't found it elsewhere.  I'm going to buy some and test with all my iron red recipes that never turned out red with my three other red iron oxides.
