PRIMO Lowfire Porcelain Clay 10kg Bag

NZ$50.00

Low-Fire Porcelain has a firing range from 1100 – 1200C. It fires very white for a general-purpose clay and generally contributes to well-fitting glazes, especially Abbots Clear between 1120C and 1180C. Some faint speckling is sometimes seen.

LFP has exceptional throwing qualities and is easy to trim. It has low drying shrinkage and accepts attachments well.

LFP has been found to be a good hand-building clay.

The wet to fired shrinkage (1180C) is approx 16%

Water absorption at 1100C 5%. At 1180 0.1%

 

Some of the best ball clays we have access to are black in their raw state. Even the tiniest particles that pass through our fine screens can be visible in the cut block of clay. These ball clay particles fire white and are not evident in fired pottery.
