• Mixture of finely ground clays, medium ground clays and grog making it more forgiving and an excellent red clay for Raku. Large pieces may be reduced without cracking due to shock.
• Course formula allows air that may be trapped to be easily released
• 77-M can be used to throw large pieces or for hand-built pieces of any size without fear of slumping
• Ideal for making tiles that will fire straight without warping
• Wide firing range of Cone 04 to 5
• Bisque is terra totta at Cone 06 and a rich red brown at Cone 5.
• Because of its wide firing range, 77-M can be decorated with any Amaco® glaze or decorating color
• The high concentration of iron oxide in 77-M helps intensify the lusters produced during reduction in Raku. Transparent glazes that do not produce lusters in reduction will be influenced by the dark color of the clay and produce deep warm shades of their color.

Shrinkage: Cone 04, 6.75%; Cone 5, 10.5%
Absorption: Cone 04, 9%; Cone 5, 0.9%
