Back (to stay!) by popular demand...
You asked, we answered! Our "limited release" Speckled Gray is back to stay! Based on our new Sea Mix 6 clay body, with added granular manganese and magnetite, it throws and builds with all the excellent qualities you'd expect from Sea Mix 6—just with a nice dispersal of brown freckles.
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.
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.
