I used this Clay when I was on pottery course in one of the big studios in London and I liked it so much! It was easy to throw and hand build, all glazes in the studio looked gorgeous on this clay body which fires to a very light butter colour. It too me a while to find this clay again. I try my glazes on different clay bodies and on this particular clay my glazes look especially smooth and rush. Love it.

I find this clay absolutely brilliant for hand building, coils and slabs, if handled well and dried slowly it will accept a lot of manipulation and it works really well with brush on glaze too. Also its super easy to recycle.

This is an excellent clay for hand building also for throwing and gives a lovely finish.It's very hard to find a versatile clay like this it also gives a great finish with the glaze.Its much better than I expected very happy with it.

I was so happy to learn that shipping to the Highlands of Scotland was no more expensive than to anywhere else and it arrived within 3 days!
It's beautiful clay and I will order again in a flash!

Lovely clay to throw, handles nicely on the wheel and is pretty smooth; my only criticism is that the claimed Tmax of 1280 is perhaps a tad optimistic - dinner plates slump badly at 1260 and the probable Tmax for flat or complex forms is closer to cone 6 at a guess.

This is a beautiful smooth soft clay for throwing. It is very wet from the bag, so takes quite a bit of wedging for slab use, tend to make slabs and allow a few days to dry before starting a project.

My tutor, a retired pottery teacher thought this was an excellent clay, especially when instructing a novice.
