Clays
Shop our full range of pottery clay for wheel throwing, hand-building and sculpture - stoneware, midfire, earthenware, terracotta, porcelain, raku and paperclay bodies, plus air dry clay that needs no kiln at all.
The right clay depends on your firing temperature, technique, and end use. Stoneware suits functional tableware, earthenware is popular for schools and sculptural work at lower temperatures, and porcelain is ideal for fine, detailed pieces.
