Warm Brown Stoneware Clay No. 58-Talc-Free
The unique composition of No. 58 creates a warm brown color of reduction when fired in oxidation up to Cone 7 and a terra cotta color at Cone 05. It's a good all around clay for the classroom because of its versatility.

Porcelain Clay No. 65 - Talc-Free
Porcelain Clay No. 65 has a new formula that makes it an excellent body for wheel throwing, sculpture, and all other methods of hand building.

Stoneware Clay w/o grog No. 480-Talc-Free
Stoneware Body No. 480 is a warm buff color peppered with dark spots. The absence of grog gives the clay a smoother surface and is more plastic. It is excellent for throwing, hand building and casting, but is not as suitable as regular No. 48 for sculpture.

Stoneware Clay w/grog No. 48-Talc-Free
Stoneware Body No. 48 is a warm buff color peppered throughout with dark spots and is excellent for throwing, hand building, and sculpture, but is not suitable for casting.

White Stoneware Clay No. 38-Talc-Free
White Stoneware No. 38 is an excellent body for throwing, slab rolling and hand modeling. This formula has greatly improved plasticity, a better fit at Cone 5 and makes an excellent Cone 10 stoneware.

Buff Stoneware Clay No. 46-Talc-Free
Buff Firing Clay No. 46 is a stoneware clay that is ideal for making durable dishes, sculpture, planters, patio vases and other utility and decorative ware.

Terra Cotta Stoneware Clay No. 77 - Talc-Free
Terra Cotta Clay No. 77 is excellent for throwing of large pieces, hand building of any size, even large outdoor sculptures, without the fear of slumping. Ideal for making tiles that will fire straight without warping. It can also be used as a Red Raku body.
