Want to try a few of our premium clay bodies at once for a killer price? Don't like commitment? Our Premium Clay Flight is for you! A potter's sampling of four of our premium stoneware and porcelain clay bodies, it includes four twelve-pound blocks - one each of our Eclipse clay, Klamath Yellow Clay, Seattle Freeze Porcelain, and Sea Mix 6 clay. All four fire at cone 5, and give you a nice color selection to play with. We like all four for throwing, dinnerware, jiggering/jollying, and pressing. The stonewares are also great for hand building.
NOTE: Seattle Freeze can harden when stored. To return it to working consistency, wedge hard (we recommend throwing it on the floor with force), then wedge as normal. Do not add water! Watch the Icebreaker video.
Block weight: 4 samples, each 12 lbs.

*Please be aware that natural impurities may occasionally occur in our clay! Our clays are made with natural minerals, mined from the earth. In some rare cases, natural impurities, or ribbons of other minerals, are mixed in with the raw materials provided by our suppliers. This can lead to clays that don’t perform the way they are supposed to. If you have any questions about a particular clay body, please reach out to info@seattlepotterysupply.com.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Do you have anything like this for cone 10 clays? I fire in gas and soda and I’m looking to try some new clays.
Not at the moment, but keep an eye out! These clay flights are a new item we're trying out lately, and a cone 10 version could be on the horizon.

What glazes work best with these cone 5 colored clays?
These clay bodies will work with any midrange glaze; you can even apply the same glaze to each clay to see how it interacts differently with the different colors.
