Blackjack Clay™ (Ss-2) Natural Kiln Fire Stoneware, 5 Lb (2.3 Kg)
Unlock the full potential of your creative endeavors with our exceptional Blackjack Clay™ (Ss-2) Natural Kiln Fire Stoneware, carefully crafted to provide a seamless artistic experience. Mined from the rich earth of East Texas, this unique blend of natural clays undergoes a specialized process of blending and wet screening to produce a clay that boasts a silky smooth texture and exceptional plasticity. As a result, our Blackjack Clay is perfectly suited for a wide range of artistic applications, including throwing on a potter's wheel, hand building, slab rolling, and sculpting or modeling.
When wet, the clay exhibits a rich, chocolate brown color, which transforms into a soft, buff/tan hue when fired. This remarkable transformation is a testament to the clay's remarkable versatility and adaptability. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, our Blackjack Clay is an ideal choice for bringing your creative vision to life. The clay's accommodating nature makes it an excellent teaching tool for beginners, while its exceptional quality and consistency make it a trusted favorite among professional artists.
One of the key benefits of our Blackjack Clay is its impressive firing range, spanning from cone 6 to cone 8. This flexibility allows artists to experiment with various glazing techniques, from single firing to bisqueware with a second glaze firing. The clay takes glazes beautifully, and its smooth, even texture ensures a consistent, professional finish. What's more, our Blackjack Clay is perfectly suited for salt firing and raku firing, making it an excellent choice for artists seeking to push the boundaries of their craft.
To ensure the best possible results, our Blackjack Clay is carefully formulated to provide a consistent water content of 17-19%. When fired to cone 6, the clay exhibits a moderate firing shrinkage of 8%, while its porosity (water absorption) is an impressive 12%. These carefully balanced properties make our Blackjack Clay an ideal choice for artists seeking a reliable, high-quality medium for their creative endeavors.
