Blick Stoneware Clay

Excellent for wheel throwing! Cone 5-10 (2185° to 2381°F.) Blick's moist stoneware clay is a ready-to-use, de-aired, homogenous mixture that needs little or no wedging. Its smooth, plastic consistency makes it excellent for throwing as well as modeling, coiling, and slab building. This stoneware clay is ideal for making durable dishes, sculpture, planters, patio vases, and other utility and decorative ware.

When fired at the recommended temperature of cone 5 (2185°F or 1196°C) the hard, dense, semi-vitreous ware is buff colored with a shrinkage of 12% and absorption of 1.8%. At cone 10 (2381°F or 1305°C) the very dense, vitreous ware is a soft gray with a shrinkage of 13.2% and absorption of 0%. A 50 lb carton consists of two 25 lb bricks, each in a poly storage bag, so any amount can be used as required and the rest stored for future use.
