Eclipse Pottery Clay
FIRING RANGE: CONE 5
Wet Color: Red
Firing Color: very dark gray; black when glazed
Texture: Slightly Smooth (< 5% grog)
Avg. Shrinkage 2±%: 8% at cone 5
Eclipse is a very dark gray mid-range stoneware clay body that fires to black when glazed. Designed to replace (and one-up) our old Midnight Black clay, it is formulated with lower manganese levels for user safety. Stronger and less likely to bloat than previous dark clays, it fires to 0% porosity to ensure strength, good glass development, and a body that can be put to the test. It has a rich, sophisticated color when unglazed, and offers a fantastic contrast for marbling or combining with lighter clays.
Available in 25LB.
