Hi there – I’ve just bought a couple of bags of this clay and wanted to double check the firing temps. Your description says it matures between 1180 and 1260C, and the label in the clay says bisque 980C, mature temp 1280-1320C. Hoping there’s something about French temperature measurement I’ve missed and the site has it right! Thank you.

We gave the temperature a little lower on the site as we think that 1320oC is to high for most kilns and there is no benefit firing the clay so high. for the best results I would fire on the controller 1235oC with a 30 minute soak.

A natural brown stoneware from Moutiers en Puisaye, a famous potters clay, from the Burgundy region. Containing a higher than normal iron content, resulting in buff/pale brown in oxidation, brown/warm orange in reduction. A good medium grained, plastic, naturally occurring clay with excellent throwing and modelling characteristics.
