If your clay doesn't fire as high as you'd like, you can add more refractory materials to raise the temperature. I have a wild clay that has 1% porosity at cone 02 (that is right 02). I've made a cone 6 body with this clay that is 55% of the cone 02 clay and 45% of a high fire silty clay. The resulting body has 1.5% porosity.
