Hello! Is this clay ready to throw straight from the bag or does it need wedging? The same question applies to several other Scarva clays. Many thanks :)

Yes it should be fine, some people like to wedge the clay to bring it to their desired consistency but in most cases this is not necessary, hope this helps.

Would this be the clay to puddle with sand if I were to build a pizza oven?

We have made a clay especially for creating a pizza oven. Here is the link:

what's an ideal bisque firing temp range for this clay? 1050 seems high?

Can this clay be used alongside the white ES5 for marbling?

Hi, we've never tried to mix these clays so you would need to experiment however, as the thermal expansion is very different between the two bodies I suspect you're going to encounter issues when firing.

Firing Temp 1080-1160°C
