Sheffield 4Ds Cone 6 Stoneware


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I just inherited 300 pounds of this clay. I've never used it before and was wondering if anyone has experience with it. I'm interested in anything unusual or weird that I should be aware of. Most of my experience lies with low fire earthenware and Cone 10 porcelain but very little with this type of stoneware. Thanks.

Looks like a speckled brown clay. 

 

Shrinkage  c/6/ox./ 10.00%

Absorbtion c/6/ox./ 2.00%

 

It has good numbers. Seems fine. Glazes will be darker on it than your white clays.

Thanks Grype. I actually did read that thread and searched google for all of the other information before posting. I'm trying to find out if there are any weird or unusual experiences that other forum members may have had.
