Buff with Sand |
A buff-colored modeling clay with sand
which makes it one of the best of the low fire clays for working on the
potter's wheel. It is also stronger for larger sculptural pieces.
We recommend this for beginners because the sand will make it easier to
throw and when handbuilding, pieces will still together better. It
is slightly coarse so might be a little rough on small children's hands. |

Cone: The maximum cone the clay can be fired to
(before it will begin to sag and melt).
Refer to the cone chart for
more info.
Shrink: Clay body dimensional shrinkage when fired to maximum
cone. For example, a 10" piece of leather hard clay will shrink
12%, so the resulting fired piece will be 8.8" in length.
Abs: An indicator in % of the propensity of the clay to absorb
water (after being fired to maximum cone). Generally speaking, the
lower the better. A lower % indicates a "tighter",
stronger, less porous clay.
Clay characteristics:
For sculpture you want a clay that is strong, often
has grog and sand, and has low shrinkage. For dinnerware you want a
clay that is dense when fired. Absorption should be 3-4% or less.
You can fire a high fire clay at low fire. All that will happen
is that the clay won't be as dense as if it were high fired, and your
glazes may craze more. You cannot fire a low fire clay at
high fire or it will melt ! Therefore we recommend that beginners,
especially those who are experimenting with multiple firing temperatures,
use high fire clay to avoid a mix-up which can damage the kiln.
