Does this slip get darker the higher it's fired?

Yes, like any terracotta the higher it is fired the darker the body will become.

Would this product withstand a temperature of 1280?
Thanks.

This clay should withstand this temperature however it is important to note that getting a glaze to work along with the terracotta at such a high temperature may prove a little more difficult, I would recommend doing a small test before committing to final work, hope this helps.

Hello,
this slip seems to be very slow. It takes an hour to cast a 3-4 mm thickness. Is it normal?

Scarva Replies:

Yes terracotta is not a very good casting slip and does take a long time it has to do with the ingredients, unfortunately there is no solution to the long casting time.
