Sibelco Smooth Textured Black Clay

Very nice to hand build with, takes small detail very well. Fires a very good black, not brown black, but actual black. Mostly I’ve been firing it without glaze as has a lovely surface and have simply beeswaxed my pieces.

I have been using sibelco black clay only recently and it is now a firm favourite. It is fantastic to throw with and I really like leaving parts unglazed for texture on finished pieces. It is definitely best at cone 6 because it stays grey at cone 06.

Fast and well packaging

I am new to textured clay, and found this clay easy to work with. It is forgiving both when throwing and hand building.

Always works at high or low temps. Wouldn't use any other smooth black clay.
