This is a mid temperature, smooth, porcelaneous stoneware that is very plastic and workable. This clay prefers slow drying and ample compression on rims and bottoms to avoid cracks. It's currently only stocked in our California facility and ships from there.

Glazes:
We have tested B-Mix with specks, WC 408 with excellent results on many of our glaze series.
-MS Series (Moroccan Sand)
-Many of the MS series have shown fantastic results. Glaze fit is very compatible with BMix with specks.
-Crackle series
-The crackle series has some of the more interesting results as the glaze causes the specks to bleed and turn purplish
-Crystalline Firing
-Mystic series
-The Mystic series Tends to cover the specks unless using WC-104 or WC-103
