S112 Speckled Brown Stoneware Clay

S112 Speckled Brown Stoneware Clay (Cone 4-6)
    Standard Clay's S-112 Speckled Brown Stoneware Clay is a lightly textured, plastic clay with 4% fine grog that is excellent for throwing and modeling.  The addition of granular manganese gives a speckled surface that is attractive both glazed and unglazed.  At Cone 4 in oxidation, shown on the left, the color is a light warm brown with light manganese speckling.  As shown on the right, the color becomes less warm, and deepens and darkens to nearly a medium brown, with more pronounced speckling as the clay approaches Cone 6.  As manganese is gaseous at higher temperatures use a slower firing to avoid trapped surface gases that can cause glaze bubbling.  Good results may also be expected in reduction firings.

    Standard Ceramic Supply's S-112 Speckled Brown Stoneware Clay is used by professional potters, schools, colleges and universities across North America and is Dogwood Ceramic Supply's best selling clay.  Need pallet quantities?  No worry.  Dogwood Ceramic Supply keeps plenty in stock year 'round in our Gulfport Mississippi warehouse.

    Standard S-225 Brown Stoneware Clay is identical to S-112 except for the granular manganese which is added to S-112.
