Red terracotta earthenware clay ~ grogged

Suggested firing temperature : 1080 - 1160°c

The earthy terracotta red colour will darken with higher firing temperatures and it looks lovely with even a plain transparent glaze on top .

Grogged terracotta clay is recommended for hand building larger pots where a smooth finish is not required. This clay is also great for throwing on the wheel but will create some friction on your hand as you throw so I would advise it for people who are not beginners on the wheel. It has a fine texture produced by additions of light grog which will prevent cracking and warping in your work. This clay is excellent for building sculptural pieces and for general hand-building and modelling. This grogged Terracotta fires to a rich red colour which darkens as the temperature increases

I would always advise to test how your clays and glazes interact with each other but I know this clay to work well with Duncan and Gare glazes.
