High-fire pottery ... ^8-10 ... where skill, clay, glaze and fire combine to produce the most stunning works of ceramic art. Different methods of firing to reach these temperatures change the final appearance of both clay and glaze. The clay sample tiles (below) were fired in both oxidation (electric-left) and reduction (fueled-right) atmospheres. Highfire clays are considered foodsafe, even when unglazed, when fired to their full maturity at ^8-10.
Each bag of clay is 25 lbs.
Our boxes are 9" x 9" x 14" and hold 50lbs |
