A stunning stoneware, Alpine White is highly plastic and extremely structured—an excellent mid-range clay body for the sculptor or potter who needs additional structure for bigger pieces. It handles beautifully on the wheel and can achieve great heights. It’s an easy centering clay that joins well and stays where you put it.  Smooth and strong, it's also great for handbuilding! Recommended for intermediate to experienced potters and for production use. Fires creamy white.

For an artist looking for a little more elevation, Alpine White will get you to the summit. Get it?

25 lb. block.

To use: wedge wet clay, work as preferred, and fire to ∆ 5. Use with mid-range glazes.

*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

  • I had a student eat some of the alpine white clay , will it hurt them ??

    Nothing in the clay is toxic or more dangerous when injested than dirt. Any clay does carry dangers when inhaled (in dust form), but there are no toxic materials in the Alpine White. If you would like a list of materials and potential hazards, please reach out to us via email and ask about our MSDS (material safety data sheets) which have information about possible hazards.
    However, eating clay is dangerous in the sense that eating anything inedible is dangerous. The body cannot process it and it could cause blockages or obstructions if large enough. Please seek medical advice for your student.

  • I just opened a bag of Alpine White. Looks different from an older purchase of Alpine White. The older bag of Alpine White is a light grey, the newer bags are a light gold. Can I mix the old with the new? Was it ever a stoneware clay? Will bisque fire in two weeks.

    You can mix the two types of Alpine White. We have had to switch materials within the last few years, but the old clay is compatible with the new. It is a stoneware clay and has always been a stoneware clay.
