Apollo Stoneware Paper Clay 164-APOL
Recommended firing range 1100-1260C / Cone 02 to 8
Indicative texture 1 (Smooth 1-Coarse 10).
Apollo Stoneware Paper Clay contains 30% fine grog (up to 80 Mesh).
Perfect for modelling thanks to its exceptional plasticity. It is especially suitable for creating challenging forms and/or where drying conditions cannot be well controlled.
The presence of paper fibres make this body exceptionally tolerant, vastly reducing the risk of warping and cracking, and allowing all kinds of artistic possibilities.
Supplied in a 12.5kg bag.
Manufactured by SIO2 (Spain)
