Hand builders and sculptors will be delighted with this superb new crank body. It is an open textured, coarsely grogged clay, which still retains tremendous plasticity. It has all the qualities you expect from crank eg., warp resistance, low shrinkage and excellent green and fired strength. It fires 1160°C - 1300°C and gives toasted buff in oxidation and a rich, warm speckled orange buff under reduction and is suitable for raku firing.
