Body 24 is a light firing, very flexible earthenware body without chamotte. The recommended firing range is 1000 °C – 1150 °C.
The high-plastic body is very suitable for throwing on the potter’s wheel and fires already densely at low temperatures. A full set of coloured glazes is available for the afore-mentioned firing temperature range.
Casting body 33 is a white to very light firing earthenware casting body without chamotte. The recommended firing range is 1000 °C – 1150 °C.
The casting body is suitable for making decorative ceramics and tableware. A full set of coloured glazes is available for the afore-mentioned firing temperature range.
Body 441 is a light to cream-coloured firing earthenware body with 45 % chamotte 0.2 – 0.8 mm. The recommended firing range is 1000 °C – 1180 °C.
This body is particularly suitable for the fabrication of large-sized pieces because of the proportion of low-dust special chamotte. Body 441 is the preferred choice for Raku-firing because of its high thermal shock resistance.
Apache’s micaceous clay. The recipe of that clay comes from the Apache descent, Felipe Ortega, placed in New Mexico, and it reproduce the old tradition of micaceous clay pottery over 400 years ago. The body is composed by white mica and low coefficient red clays. Mica confers elasticity and makes pottery immediately identifiable. Its original Apache character is achieved after wood firing. Available in extruded body (moist form).

Blue self-enameling Egyptian clay - TEGYPB
Very siliceous clay intended more for modeling than throwing.
Clay mixture with incorporated enamel.
A single firing because self-enamelling: when drying, the sodium is in soluble form and migrates to the surface (especially do not scratch the layer or skin on the surface). During firing, the surface will melt more than the interior, resulting in the formation of a blue enamel.
Clay for decorative use. In no case for food use.
Single firing
T° Firing / 900 - 930°C electric oven / not higher to have the blue color.
If you fire at high temperature, it will begin to metallic with dark reflections and then turn black. Enamel may even disappear.
At 920°C, if your oven is reduced (gas oven), it will become very black.
No particular temperature curve, apply the same curve as for earthenware, respecting well the indicated final temperature.

White earthenware clay specially formulated for wheel-throwing and modelling. It is a high quality and polyvalent clay, very popular for its fineness and plasticity. Its balanced calcium carbonate content confers higher stability than traditional white earthenware bodies. Its coefficients of thermal expansion are ideal for standard pottery glazes, in both single and twice firing processes. Available in extruded body (moist form) in a wide range of water content depending on the shaping application: wheel-throwing, modelling and shaping processes (extruding and pressing).

White earthenware clay with 20% fine grog 0-0.5 mm (up to 35 Mesh). Ideal for medium size pieces. The presence of grog confers to clay a very interesting textured surface (not flat) which, in turn, provides a set of suitable properties for the design of pieces in complex drying situations, thus avoiding the creation of deformations and cracks. Available in extruded body (moist form), being suitable for shaping and modelling.
