School clay

This is a great all round clay. A must in any studio

Great clay for standard hand-building

Very agreeable clay that I've been using for years. It fires towards a warm colour after final glaze firing.

It's not my favourite

Great to throw at the right consistency. If slightly dry, unpleasant to work with and susceptible to S cracks which means a lot of wastage

Pleasant to use

This clay was nice to throw and worked well in single fire. It was pleasant to work with but personally I didn't love the colour. It was a pale grey colour when fired to 1220. Great budget option.
