Product Details

Product Information

This clay is finely grogged to add strength and to provide superior drying properties, making it an ideal clay for classroom and studio.

Texture: Textured

Unfired characteristics: A deep grey body. Although this clay contains fine grog, it is still very smooth and malleable from the bag, it is therefore a good choice for education facilities

Fired colour: Pale buff

Shrinkage: 13.4%

Grog: 10%

Ideal for throwing, hand building and raku.

Firing Range

Bisque: 999°C (cone 6)

Glaze: 1140°C to 1260°C (cone 2 to cone 8)

Working Notes

A broad firing range allows this clay to be treated as a low fire body or taken to the higher temperatures. Ideal for everything from thumb pots to sizable projects, the fine grog adds strength without making the body too course.

The clay colour is cream at bisque and fires to warm grey buff at glaze temperature. The higher you fire, the darker the body will become. As this is a grogged clay it is also suitable for raku firing.

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.

Good all-rounder

I use this clay for throwing and hand-building and I get consistently good results. It fires to a lovely buff colour which deepens when in contact with glaze. Glaze colours can sometimes be altered by the buff clay and are not as bright as they might be on a white clay body, but I've not been disappointed with results. I'd recommend this clay as a good value all-round clay.

Great for hand building. A good colour when fired, and a pleasing texture.

Very happy

We used this at an event and found it so good for modelling we just had to get our own. Have really enjoyed using it and have loads left for more projects. Total bargain!!

School and Studio All Purpose with Grog

Excellent clay with good colour response at cone 6 firing.

Holds fine detail, but with the grog content, it is strong and stable.



It could eventually replace my long term favourite - supplies of which have been disrupted recently.



Speedy delivery was much appreciated.
