June 2024 - Limited Release

Speckled Gray is based on our new Sea Mix 6 clay body, with added granular manganese and magnetite. Similar to our recent limited-release clay, Sea Mix Speckled, it throws and builds with all the qualities you'd expect from Sea Mix 6—just with a nice dispersal of red-brown specks.

This clay tightens up early in the firing process. It performs best at Cone 4, and fires to Cone 5 with off-gassing possible at hotter temps (similar to Fool's Gold or Eclipse). It is not recommended for Cone 6 or higher.

Simple and fun to throw and sculpt, it's ideal for wheel throwing, hand building, and functional ware.

We get excellent results with Seattle Pottery Supply glazes at Cone 5. Shown with SP8 Opaque White glaze.

Available only while supplies last.

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.
