Cone 10 stoneware clay. 50 lbs

New Catawba 10: Part of our Wild Clay Series, New Catawba 10 is 99% North Carolina clays/feldspars. This high temperature stoneware clay body is made primarily with wild clay that comes from the Catawba Valley of North Carolina. This wild clay has very unique properties that make it wonderful to work with on the potter’s wheel, and it is also great for hand building and slab work. It is very well suited for glazed pottery, as seen in many historical Catawba Valley pots, as well as in gas, wood or salt kilns. Pots made from this clay body should be dried very slowly because the clay retains moisture for a longer time than other clays. Cone 10-11, Average Shrinkage at cone 10 OX = 11.54%, Average Water Absorption at cone 10 OX = 2.55%
