(4.00)Erin Published Thursday, 12 August 2021 I do like this clay, however coming here all the way from the USA I find it a little on the hard side to throw. I have successfully softened it with water and time, but I end up using it for hand building instead. Lovely clay to work, definitely doesn’t like to go hotter than cone 5
