H550 High Fire Clay

H550 is a slightly sandy, semi-vitreous stoneware for high-fire work – a general purpose body for functional and decorative ware. Production potters fire it at cone 10 reduction, where it comes out a solid grey with light specking.

Recommended Cone 10

H570 High Fire Clay

H570 is a smooth, plastic, white to grey-white whiteware for high-fire functional work, in oxidation or reduction. It is the practical alternative to a porcelain: not as white and not as vitreous, but easier to dry, less prone to warping, and easier to fit a glaze to.

Recommended Cone 10

Sculpture High Fire Clay

Sculpture is a heavily grogged body that is also highly plastic – an unusual combination that lets you build overhung and exaggerated shapes. It fires far more vitreous than most sculpture clays, which makes the finished work stronger and more durable outdoors.
