Working Notes

This clay was made to a brief; the main ingredient is a highly reputed 'SG' from the Sibelco clay range, so it won't disappoint. When throwing, it is very creamy and has an almost porcelain feel.

The colour when fired will be a light sand, and when fired higher will darken. This clay is an ideal accompaniment to the stoneware-looking, earthenware glazes made by Botz, Spectrum and others. Leave an unpainted part at the bottom of the pot to give an impression of a stoneware.

Health & Safety

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