A very smooth clay, creamy almost like butter, not easy for the beginner so you might want to have some experience with other clays before throwing with this.
As the clay contains crystalline silica avoid inhaling the dust from dried-out clay. Wear an FFP/P3 mask and filters, wash hands after use and clean up using a damp sponge. Dust off dirty clothes and aprons outside.
