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.
