Working Notes

This clay contains a ball clay mix which makes the body more plastic, so is excellent for the ambitious throwing projects as well as achieving detail in hand-built projects. Our White Earthenware has even achieved low stoneware temperatures (1240°C) with some glazes, so it has some versatility. However we would advise staying with the more traditional earthenware glaze firing temperatures. If however you wish to experiment, please protect your kiln by using sacrificial dishes.

Fires to a warm white at bisque and through glaze temperatures.

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.
