A superbly reliable, coarsely textured clay giving exceptional warp resistance and low shrinkage associated with crank bodies
Extra iron is added to give a warm, speckled, toasted colour tone
Firing range 1180¼C‐1280¼C, making it good for stoneware work
12.5kg bag
Please note: Not all clays are guaranteed to be impervious to liquids even if they are classed as stoneware
For pottery pieces intended to hold water or to be protected from frost damage also apply a glaze to reduce the chances water absorption, making sure to avoid pinholes or crazing of the glaze
Clays have their own firing ranges, some at stoneware temperatures but only very vitreous bodies like bone china and porcelain offer better resistance to water when fired to 1300 degrees centigrade, and even then there may be a slight moisture absorption
Always place vessels holding water on a mat to protect porous surfaces, such as wood, from damage
