SIO-2® PRAI White Stoneware High Fire Ceramic Clay Body, 4 lb Sample
White stoneware clay with 40% impalpable grog 0-0.2 mm (up to 80 Mesh). 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. Its particular ivory colour after firing is much appreciated and provides an excellent ware for glazes and colouring oxides, which develop bright and intense tones. Suitable for tableware (food-safe), according to ISO 6486. Available in a convenient 4 lb format for smaller projects, or those who want to test if this is the right clay for them.
