Clay Maturity
This is an excellent clay for hand building and comes out nice and white. I currently mix it 50/50 with ES130 to get a stronger body for throwing larger items. I find that both this clay and the ES130 bisc fire to maturity at 1120 degrees celsius, of course that just might be my kiln! Doing this has stopped the shivering on my rims and handles. The only other thing that causes shivering on the rims and handles for me is leaving red or yellow slip on them before bisc firing. Other colours on the edges don't suffer from shivering. Leaning as I go.

Excellent Clay
I love this clay! I've been using it for a few years now. It's great for hand-building. It has taken all the decoration techniques and different types of glazes I've used extremely well.

Would it be safe to fire this clay to 1230 C with a 30 minute soak?
Charlot from Malta
Hi, firing to 1230°C on a controller this would be too high for this clay. In our kilns here to achieve cone 6, we fire to 1175°C. I would suggest 1170°C on a controller being a good temperature to fire this clay, it's always a good idea to fire with Orton cones so you know what temperature your kiln has reached.
Hope this helps!
