To create a vitrified and durable product, traditional stoneware clays are fired at temperatures ranging from cone 6 (1220°C) to cone 9 (1280°C). Only a select few stoneware clays can achieve vitrification at cone 5. LoStone is a versatile range of clays which can be fired as low as cone 3 (1165°C) to achieve a vitrified stoneware product. LoStone is regarded as a more sustainable option compared to traditional stoneware clays, as it requires 60
to 100 °C less energy to achieve vitrification.

The LoStone range of clays have the same vitrification and shrinkage rates. They can be easily mixed together in different combinations.

LoStone is especially appealing to potters who may be working in smaller studios, community spaces, or with more compact, low firing kilns. By lowering the technical and financial barriers, this clay allows a far wider group of makers to explore the durability, strength, and creative flexibility of stoneware.
