Ideal for hand building, throwing and raku.

Firing Range

Ideal Bisque: 1100°C (cone 02)

Glaze Range: 1060°C to 1160°C (cone 04 to cone 4)

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.

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.

Excellent building clay

This is great earthenware to build with. The grog gives it extra workability. Great to throw with too.

Good grog
Firm

The clay is firm and easy to use. I didn't have to prop stuff up when I stuck it on. It made my hands dirtier than the regular terracotta earthenware I use but it's worth it.

A good versatile and throwable terracotta clay

A good all-round terracotta clay. Great for handbuilding and can be thrown on the wheel without making your hands raw (more of a gentle exfoliating action)!
