Bastex 5 lbs Low Fire White Pottery Clay for Earthware Potters

Natural White Clay has an appealing, bright finish once it has been fired in the kiln. To achieve optimal results, it's recommended to fire the clay first to Cone 04 for bisque firing, followed by glazing at Cone 06.

This clay is crafted from organic materials and proudly made in the USA. It is non-toxic, making it suitable for a variety of crafting projects. With a five-pound quantity, you have the flexibility to create multiple smaller items or to sculpt larger pieces before allowing them to air dry. However, it's important to keep in mind that items air dry will not be permanent; they can easily break if they come into contact with water or if they are dropped.

Additionally, be aware that moist clay, especially in dark and damp environments, can become an ideal breeding ground for mold. Although the type of mold that may develop on your clay is not harmful, it can produce an unpleasant odor. Interestingly, many potters actually appreciate this mold, as it serves as a natural plasticizer, enhancing the workability of the clay.

To summarize, Natural White Clay is a versatile medium for all your crafting needs. Its bright, appealing finish and ease of use make it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced artisans. Just remember to take the necessary precautions when air drying, and you can enjoy working with this fantastic material without worry!
