Clayworks JB1 is a white-firing porcelain clay body made in Australia, and the one we recommend when you want porcelain that is actually workable. It has excellent plasticity and green strength, which is an unusual combination in a porcelain - it holds up for large objects and still takes the most delicate pieces.
JB1 can be fired as low as 1200°C but develops noticeably better strength between 1260°C and 1300°C. At 120 mesh it throws cleanly and finishes to a smooth, bright white surface that lets glazes and underglazes read at their truest.
A dependable choice for fine tableware, translucent forms, porcelain sculpture and any work where you want the clay body itself to be white rather than off-white.
100% Australian Made
All Northcote Pottery & Clayworks clays are made on site at Bendigo Pottery - Australia's oldest working pottery since 1858.
