Old Potters Low Fire Pottery Clay (Cones 06-2) Art Modeling Clay, Ideal for Wheel Throwing and Hand Building, Pottery Clay for Sculpting, Beginners, and Advanced, 10 lbs Terra Cotta

I love throwing this clay. Unfortunately, I just tried to order 50lbs and it's not available. I ended up getting some other white clay from a different supplier and it's a bear to throw. This clay is great for wheel and hand building and fires to a beautiful white. I sure hope this is available again soon!

I really like this clay super smooth, easy to work with. I have a little electric kiln after letting the clay dry for about five days. I fired it to approximately cone 06 (which is as high as my kiln goes) I didn’t use any cones kind of just went by faith and it worked fantastic. No cracking in the clay and it seems to have fully matured. I will be getting a white glaze that fires at a low temperature to see how well that works too.! My kids also made fun little beads and critters that fired well. In the kiln. They’re pretty sturdy. We’ve dropped them a couple times.

Great for making paw print memorials. Do not need to bake, just let dry out good. Thank you.

7/4/25 - Got a kind note from product maker offering refund. I want to make it clear, I do not think this is a bad product but I had a particular purpose in mind and this is not, IMO, not well suited for that. I am, however, finding it to be very good for the slab work I do. The stiffness is a benefit in doing that. Also the temper reduces shrinkage. I would like to see all clay producer list temper % and mesh size in their product listing. I did not avail myself of their refund offer. It is working well for me hand formed items. This clay has a lot of temper. It is difficult to thrown on a wheel and the temper is eating my hands up. It may be useful for hand crafted pieces but with so much temper I did not expect it to shrink as much as it does. Based on this limited use I'll not like buy it again as I want to create pots on the wheel more than hand built. I've got 50 pound of it so I'll try to get some value from it. I've used about 15 pounds of it so far. I cannot work it on a wheel. I have successful used in for hand made (slabs, coils) items and it works fine for that. I'm going to have to refrain from buy clay that does not publish info about the filler, shrink %, etc.

Just as it says
