Priced Per Pound
Must purchase in 25 lb increments
A super smooth, plastic body that fires a dark chocolate brown at cones 5-7. Matures at cone 5-6. Won't bloat at cone 7 if fired slow through the last 300-400F. Contains no grog. This body gives a nice warmth to glazes, giving that reduction look in oxidation. Contains less than 2% Manganese.
Kentucky Mudworks recommends bisque firing SLOW speed between ^06 and ^04 and always SLOW speed glaze firing. If you are having trouble getting some brands of commercial glazes to not pinhole you can always try bisque firing to ^03. If you are using Mudworks glazes exclusively you only need to bisque to ^06 unless you prefer a higher bisque.
