Terracotta Clay with Grog

Terracotta Clay with Grog

Vitraclay Terracotta Clay with Grog - Low Fire (Earthenware)

A smooth textured clay with a very ‘plastic’ body, making it excellent for hand-building larger pieces and also superb as a low fire Raku Terracotta.

Unfired Characteristics: A smooth and wonderfully rich red body textured with 20% sand. This soft clay is smooth to the touch with an even colour but a granular surface quality.

Working Notes: This clay is sanded providing added strength and texture to the terracotta base, sand also opens the structure which promotes the drying process. This clay is a popular choice for those making pizza ovens, outside pots, sculptures, tandoori pots and bread bins. Earthenware remains porous unless glazed.

Fires to a rich red terracotta at bisque becoming a little darker at higher temperatures. A perfect warm and natural clay to get inspired by.
