EARTHENWARE THROWING CLAY 12.5kg

White Earthenware Throwing Clay is a smooth, versatile clay body designed for excellent workability across a wide range of ceramic techniques. Its fine texture makes it particularly responsive when wheel throwing, while also providing the handling characteristics required for sculpting, modelling and hand building.

Firing to an attractive off-white colour, the clay provides a clean, neutral surface that works well with a wide variety of glazes, slips and decorative techniques. Its smooth consistency allows pieces to be shaped and refined easily, making it suitable for everything from detailed creative projects to functional ceramic ware.

The clay has a broad firing range of 1080–1180°C, providing flexibility for different earthenware firing schedules. At 1100°C, it has a stated wet-to-fired shrinkage of approximately 10%, with 0.39% expansion at 500°C.

With a texture rating of 1 on a scale of 1–10, where 1 is smooth and 10 is coarse, this is an exceptionally fine clay body suited to potters looking for a smooth throwing and modelling experience.

Supplied in a convenient 12.5kg bag, it is an excellent general-purpose earthenware clay for pottery studios, schools, colleges and ceramic artists.
