Raw Materials & Custom Dry Mixes

Whether you’re mixing your own glazes, making clay bodies, or experimenting with new recipes, Fat Cat Pottery stocks a wide selection of ceramic raw materials for studios, schools, production potters and hobbyists.

We offer flexible purchasing options, from small quantities for testing to bulk materials for larger production needs.

Purchase the Amount You Need

Small Quantities

Need less than a full bag? We sell most materials by smaller weights, making it easy to test new glaze recipes or purchase only what you need.

Because raw material costs change frequently, all materials are sold at current market pricing. Contact us anytime for a quote.
