Working Notes

Working with this clay is a joy as it’s very forgiving, ideal for hand building and can also be used for raku, sculpture and modelling. If used for throwing, a course finish will be achieved.

The clay colour fires to a very light pink at bisque going to a warm grey buff at higher glaze temperatures. At high temperatures the fleck can still be seen but is very subtle.

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.
