Working Notes

This throwing body has a high addition of ball clays, making it very workable and pliable. It also has a very fine washed sand so it has good engineering strength and therefore less prone to cracking. 

The bisque colour is a very pale buff, but when fired to glaze temperatures it becomes a light buff grey.

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.
