Golden brown stoneware clay creates a great toasty finish. It has been made with 40% impalpable grog 0-0.2 mm (up to 80 Mesh). Grog this fine can't be felt and the clay is as smooth as butter.
Formulated for artistic ceramics, it is ideal for throwing and modelling smooth pieces with fine details. The high content of grog confers an excellent behaviour during drying and firing.
It has amazing fired colour, with different tones of golden brown, highlighting reliefs and edges, you can really experiment and be expressive with this clay body.
Suitable for tableware (food-safe), according to ISO 6486. Available in an extruded body.

(*) Firing range recommended for the clay to develop its best performance, both in terms of technical and safety characteristics, under conventional firing conditions. The colour samples may show temperatures outside the recommended range to provide a broader view, but these are pieces fired under controlled conditions. Cone equivalence according to Orton table for self-supporting cones, regular-SSB and 150ºC/hr heating rate.
