White Stone
Shrinkage 14, absorption 2
This is the most reliable cone six light-colored stoneware. It has wonderful thermal shock resistance, fine grog, easy to reclaim and works well with all glazes. This is a great beginner-friendly clay.
Terracotta
Shrinkage 13, absorption 2
This name is a misnomer as terracotta typically describes lowfire earthenware. Not recommended for beginners as it's difficult to clean up properly.
Porcelain
Shrinkage 13, absorption 0
The whitest clay. This clay is prone to cracking and reclaim takes longer. We do not recommend this clay for beginners.
Beach
Shrinkage 12, absorption 4
This clay truly does look like sand. With a low shrinkage rate this clay tends to have less issues with cracking and the granular matrix allows pieces to dry out more evenly, avoiding warping as well. This is a solid choice and recommended for beginners.
Speckled
Shrinkage 11, absorption 2
This lite brown clay is dotted with metallic specks that are revealed during the glaze firing. With a very low shrinkage rate coupled with decent vitrification, we do recommend this clay for the beginner potter.
Dark Stone
Shrinkage 13, absorption 1
This beautiful dark brown clay often creates pinholes during the glaze firing making food safe glazes not so hygienic therefore It is not recommended for beginners.
