There is nothing like feeling the texture of a clay body on a potter's wheel to judge the suitability of its particle size distribution. What you feel is sometimes different than PSD data may suggest. That texture can be recorded in an Insight-live account as a close-up photo of the rim like this. I am testing the plastic character of a new mining of one of a clay materials and need to judge its texture in comparison with the existing one. In this case, these side-by-side photos confirm my other observations.
