Sibelco Raku W5015: 10kg

A heavily grogged white clay, made for hand building, raku, and sculpture. With the addition of a fine molochite it is well balanced to give the working properties of high engineered strength and pliability. A very special clay!

Unfired characteristics: Highly plastic, with a fine molochite addition. A buff grey out of the bag.

Working notes: Workable into shapes and slabs, but with a soft plastic feel. It rolls between the fingers for a prolonged time without cracking.

It’s a perfect clay for uses such as Raku, and large sculptural pieces.

Its fired colour is bleached white even at the higher end of its firing window.
