Who doesn’t love a speckle? We know we do. In fact, we find them so beguiling that we made a whole mid-range clay sample flight dedicated to their freckly goodness!
Our new Speckled Clay Flight includes one 12 lb. sample cube each of our top-selling Fool’s Gold, Hellborn Red, Gray Speckled, and our new introduction, Driftwood (ivory with dark flecks, and only available in this flight).
Block weight: 4 samples, each 12 lbs.
FIRING RANGE: Best Results at CONE 5
Fool’s Gold: CONE 4-5 (2134-2160º F) Firing color: gold with dark speckles; texture: lightly coarse. Fool’s Gold has a rich, warm, golden brown color with black speckles… and an exemplary throwing ability. One of our all-time best sellers. Best at cone 4; should not be fired higher than cone 5.
Greenware Color: Orange/Red
Hellborn Red: CONE 4 - 6 (2167-2232ºF) Firing color: red/orange with dark speckles; texture: slightly smooth (<5% grog). Released just last year, Hellborn Red is dark alchemy in action. It starts sunny yellow, but fires to a lush red/orange with flecks of black. Absolutely spectacular with white or blue/green glazes.
Greenware Color: Yellow
Gray Speckled: CONE 4-5 (2134-2160º F) Firing color: Gray with dark speckles; texture: slightly smooth (<5% grog). Originally just a limited release, people loved it so much that we brought it back to stay. A sophisticated flecked silver fox of a clay. Best at cone 4; not recommended for cone 6 or higher.
Greenware Color: Grey
Driftwood: CONE 4 - 7 (2167-2232ºF) Firing color: Ivory with dark speckles; texture: fine grit (no grog). Our newest speckled clay, Driftwood, is a flecked ivory, like the best chocolate-chip gelato. The speckles develop from barely there (at cone 4) to maximum (at cone 7). For lowest absorption and the best speckles, we recommend cone 7.
Greenware Color: Ivory
Ships FREE in the U.S. via USPS in a Large Flat Rate Box.
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
-
So your four speckled clays including your new driftwood clay are midrange. So you will fire them at your store bisque fire at midrange? Then glaze fire them after a mid-range glaze is applied?
We bisque at cone 05, glaze, and do a midrange glaze firing at cone 5. -
I applied for a sample of these Clay‘s listed above and never received it. My address is 8164 Quail Meadow trace West Palm Beach, FL 33412 and the name is Roseannebreuerbreuerdesigns.com.
This is not something we offer. You are welcome to place an order for the clay flight but we do not give out samples. -
Do you have a catalog you can send me or online?

What happens if it fires at cone 6? I just want to be sure before I buy it since I use a community kiln that fires at cone 5/6
At cone 6 the fools gold, grey speckle, and driftwod are prone to bloating, which is bubbles in the clay itself due to the off-gassing of the manganese/magnetite speckles. -
Dud you add speckles to Klamath Yellow to create the Hellborn Red?
The base of Hellborn Red is Klamath Yellow, with some adjustments made to ensure the speckles didn't change the color too much. -
Can I order just the driftwood?
Not at this time. -
Do you still carry Sea Mix Speckled? It was in your Summer 2024 catalog but I don’t see it online now.
This is now called Gray Speckle
