This highly plastic clay is ideal for reduction firing but is also suitable for oxidisation and may be salt - glazed. It has excellent resistance to warping and cracking, and the high proportion of ball clay in this body makes it a real pleasure to work with. Ideal for the production of domestic tableware etc. it is suitable for throwing or jiggering. Firing 1220°C - 1300°C, this clay has been specially developed to meet the needs of craft and studio potters. |

E/S 90 FLECKED
|
Many potters want to achieve the attractive, speckled effect that reduction firings give to clay. However, this is not generally possible in an electric kiln. Other flecked clays have been introduced in the past, but we believe this is the most successful yet.Based on our reduction body, this clay performs every bit as well and is just as responsive to work with. The only difference is that this clay has an attractive speckle even under oxidisation. Firing 1220°C - 1300°C, our flecked stoneware is perfect for anyone wanting to achieve a reduction effect in an ordinary electric kiln. |

E/S 120 MING PORCELAIN
|
An ancient Chinese formula, extremely white translucent body. One of the best throwing porcelains with excellent standing properties. Fluxed with a slow acting flux to minimise slumping. Intended for cones 7 - 10. Firing range 1220°C - 1280°C. |
|
E/S 130 WHITE EARTHENWARE
|
A plastic white clay which throws well on the wheel. Its main advantages are excellent colour response and a wide firing range, which makes it ideal for school use. It casts well and has been designed to accept most commercial low fire glazes. A smooth clay with no grog added, it matures between 1060°C - 1150°C. |
|
E/S 150 GOLDEN HARVEST
|
A beautifully smooth rich golden harvest yellow body, Earthstone Golden Harvest will throw and cast extremely well and takes sprigged or stamped decoration beautifully. This body is highly resistant to warping, cracking and thermal shock and a range of glazes, which fit perfectly, can be recommended. Due to its unusually wide firing range Earthstone Golden Harvest is equally suitable for both stonework and earthenware firing between 1180°C - 1280°C. |
|
E/S 160 SPECIAL
|
Earthstone Special fires white to give an excellent base for colour decoration, while its high plasticity and remarkable handling properties make it excellent for large as well as small pots. It is highly resistant to warping, cracking and thermal shock and is also particularly suited to salt-glazing and reduction firing as it will withstand very high temperatures, firing 1200°C - 1300°C. It has an addition of specially selected and blended molocite, which makes it incredibly versatile, this is reflected in its current popularity. |
