Cone 04-06 Ceramic Clays (Low Fire Earthenware)

Each block of clay comes in a plastic bag with tie. Low fire clay comes in a few varieties. The most common being a white talc based clay body, or a red terracotta clay body. Low-Fire clay, also known as EARTHENWARE clay fires in the cone range of cone 06 to cone 1. Most commercial low fire glazes fire cone 06/05/04. Firing higher than this can cause serious warping of clay pieces, or even worse, complete melting of a project at high fire. White clays are commonly a gray to dark-gray color when wet in the bag which lightens up as it dries. After firing, the gray color turns a bright white. Low Fire White clay is our most popular school clay, is soft and perfect for small hands.
