Working Notes

A very smooth and creamy clay, almost like butter. It is not easy for beginners to use, so you might want to have some experience with other clays before throwing with this.

Health & Safety

As the clay contains crystalline silica, avoid inhaling the dust from dried out clay. Wear an FFP3 mask, wash your hands and clean up using a damp sponge. Dust off dirty clothes and aprons outside.
