The raw material of this pottery clay is kaolin, which has a fine and uniform texture, strong plasticity, non-sticky and easy molding. Without adding any chemical materials, this natural red terra cotta clay is non-toxic, tasteless, environmentally friendly, and safe. Deouss 5 lbs Low Fire Pottery Clay - Terra Cotta, Cone 06 is an earthware potters throwing clay, ideal for wheel throwing, hand building, firing and more, suitable for sculpting, beginners, and advanced.

Formulated with a smooth consistency, this low fire clay is flexible and has extraordinary plasticity, allowing it to be molded into desired shapes. This moist clay can be easily cut into small chunks for hand building, throwing, sculpting, molding and more! For the best results, the clay should be bisque fired to Cone 04 and then glazed to Cone 06.

To use, simply take the self-hardening modeling clay out of the bag, knead it vigorously, and mix clays to the same humidity, then add water in small amounts to shape it into whatever you desire. Note that the finished craft should be stored in a cool, dark place to avoid damage. While air drying is convenient, it will not be permanent and may be prone to cracking. If you choose to fire the clay in a kiln, then glaze and fire it again, the result will be more visually appealing and longer-lasting.

It's important to note that, like any dark, damp, organic environments, blocks of moist clay are perfect growing grounds for mold. However, the type of mold that grows on clay is not harmful (although it may be smelly), and is actually a desirable trait to many potters, as it acts as a natural plasticizer.

In summary, Deouss 5 lbs Low Fire Pottery Clay - Terra Cotta, Cone 06 is a high-quality earthware potters throwing clay that is versatile, safe, and easy to use. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced potter, this clay is an excellent choice for a wide range of clay-based projects.
