Amaco 45083X High Fire Moist Stoneware Clay, 46 Buff

I'm thoroughly confused wny some people had a problem with this clay. I'm happy to report that this clay had a very consistent moisture content and wedged it as usual before throwing on the wheel. Zero problems with bubbles, felt wonderful and I had a blast throwing it. i like to work with porcelain and as much as this is stoneware it had that nice buttery feel and performed like a champ. I'm looking forward to seeing it through the steps and will return for a follow up review.

This is my go to clay I use others but this one is my work horse clay. It is very basic which is what you want. Easy to work with as it doesn’t create excessive amounts of slip while throwing it isn’t overly groggy but is still decently strong and it fires up nicely

I kind of could not believe you get this much clay for $50 It’s great to work with and i’ve had it for 4 months and it’s still moist as long as you keep it wrapped up

For a mid-fire stoneware clay, this product is amazing. Smooth, responsive and resilient, it forms easily whether in a slab or on the wheel, and holds its shape well. Not one item made from it has suffered a mishap in the kiln or failed to take a glaze properly.

I have bought this clay 3 times and have not found any problems. If any thing it comes a bit moist so if I am throwing 2-3 pounds I let it dry out so my walls will slump down and thicken the bottom wall. I fire bisque to cone 06 and glaze to cone 6 and have good results most of the time. I have been using Potters Choice glaze and not getting great results so I am moving to another glaze which should work well with this clay.
