Working Notes

Very popular among throwers, the buff clay holds and shapes well. The colour at bisque is a light apricot with a subtle hint of a speckle. The markings darken at the higher firing range to become more distinctive. This clay is very forgiving for both professionals and entry level throwers.

The spots/speckles within this clay can stick to the shelves when fired at higher temperatures. Flat bottomed wares should be stilted to protect shelves.

Health & Safety

As the clay contains crystalline silica avoid inhaling the dust from dried out clay. Wear a P3 mask, wash hands after use and clean up using a damp sponge. Dust off dirty clothes and aprons outside.

My fave clay

This is a really lovely clay to throw and bisque fires to a really pretty pinky colour. Yet to glaze any pieces yet but it’s a dream to throw so I hope it takes my glazes well 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Love it

This clay is beautiful. It’s great to throw with (although turning can feel a bit gritty, I am sure that’s similar with other speckled clays). I have been using cone 5 glazes and have not found pieces sticking to shelves - except one time when the kiln got a bit too hot.

Love this clay

Really like the way the clay remains smooth after firing unlike other speckled clay bodies I have tried i.e Lava fleck, it also lends itself to some nice toasting when partially glazed.
