Due to an unexpected change in material availability, Big Turtle has undergone a temporary reformulation. We feel confident in its fired performance, glaze response, and workability. However, you may notice a slight shift in feel and color, particularly in its moist form. We recommend that you test it before putting into production. This affects all batches dated after #06012601
