Working Notes

This is a premium quality white stoneware throwing body. A superbly smooth and silky clay which has an addition of a fine molochite to provide stiffness on the wheel and strength in the finished piece.

The white body fires to a brilliant white at bisque, maturing to a very strong and pleasing limestone colour at high temperatures.

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.

Very wet and sticky

Historically I've been very pleased with this clay but the last batch I had [I buy it in 1kg bags] was so wet and sticky I've struggled to use it. I hand build with it and despite it being designated ‘throwing clay' I used to find it excellent. I'm waiting to see what the clay that arrived today is like to see if this change was an aberration or is permanent.

Smooth and slippery!

Enjoying using this clay. It's early days as I haven't taken anything through the firing stages yet, but have been able to make different shaped thrown forms on the wheel.
