Chris' Light Speckle is a 30 mesh midfire clay body that fires to a light, speckled finish - the iron speckle comes through the surface rather than sitting on it, so you get texture and depth without a decorating step. It suits wheel throwing and hand-building equally well.
Maturing at Orton Cone 6 with excellent glaze fit, it is a dependable body for functional ware. The subtle speckle is what people choose it for: it pairs beautifully with underglazes and with NPS midfire brush-on glazes, adding interest to a piece without competing with decorative work the way a heavier speckled body can. A good choice if you want a light speckled clay rather than a plain white one.
