M340 

$ 38.81 before tax********** cone 6 clay

Mid-temperature, smooth, plastic, semi-vitreous, native functional stoneware Plainsman M340 clay is a mid-temperature, smooth, plastic, semi-vitreous, native functional stoneware. It is made from a combination of A3 and B stoneware materials, which are also used in other bodies like H-550 and L-212. M340 is known for its high dry strength and consistent parent materials, free of foreign particles. It has a medium plasticity and feels smooth, with some distribution of particle sizes in the plus 200 mesh range, which provides channels for faster drying. This clay is suitable for various forming techniques, including hand building, slab building, and wheel throwing. Once shaped, it requires slow and even drying, and once completely dry, it is ready to fire in the kiln. The clay fires yellow-buff in color and is recommended for wheel throwing and hand-building.

M370

$ 66.00 before tax********** cone 6 clay

Middle temperature, smooth, very plastic, white-firing, semi-vitreous, refined material body for functional stoneware. M370 is Plainsman Clay's most popular white burning clay. M370 is semi-vitreous (it is somewhat porous at cone 5-7). Compared to similar competitor bodies, M370 is whiter (because it uses more kaolines and less ball clays). It is white enough that the powder is a good base for slips and engobes.

H550

$ 40.00 before tax ********** cone 10 clay

Plainsman H500 is a high-temperature, whiter, plastic, semi-vitreous, grey-buff burning, general-purpose, native body for reduction and oxidation-fired functional stoneware. It is recommended for functional ware and has good strength. The clay is ready to use out of the box, with no preparation required. It can be used in various forming techniques such as hand building, slab building, and wheel throwing. Once shaped, slow and even drying is required, and once completely dry, it is ready to fire in the kiln. The clay is suitable for most typical cone 10 glazes without crazing them.

H555

WSO

$76.80 before tax ********** cone 10 clay  Raku 

Plainsman Raku Clay is a versatile ceramic body designed for the raku process, which involves firing clay at high temperatures while allowing it to expand and contract with temperature changes. This process is known for producing beautiful, porous, and non-vitreous ceramics that can be fired at cone 6-10 and beyond. The clay is made from high-quality stoneware material, with a fine clay base that provides a smooth texture for throwing and a smooth surface for glazing. It is important to note that while Plainsman Raku Clay is ready to use out of the box, it requires slow and even drying after shaping. The clay is also porous and non-vitreous, making it suitable for various firing techniques, including wheel throwing, hand building, and slab building.
