A medium-grogged, cream-coloured paper clay designed for large-scale hand built sculpture. The addition of paper fibres significantly reduces cracking and adds strength to raw work, allowing for thicker builds and enhanced structural integrity. Ideal for all hand building techniques.
Not suitable for wheel throwing. Features low shrinkage and excellent workability for sculptural forms.
Fires grey-stony-white in reduction at cone 10, off white at cone 5 oxidation, and bright white at cone 05 (raku). It is a medium textured, low shrinkage body designed for large-scale hand-built sculpture and tile work where thick cross sections (up to 1 inch) are anticipated. Contains a moderate amount of fine and medium mesh grog.
