It can also be used on the wheel when a slightly textured surface is desired.

It is a popular choice among sculptors and garden ceramics artists who value both the stability of the clay and the warm, earthy colors of the finished product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThe parameters provided are indicative. The final color, shrinkage, water absorption, and glaze behavior depend on the kiln, atmosphere, soaking time, and firing curve. Before producing a larger series, we recommend conducting a technological test with the selected clay and glaze.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sibelco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51826407899463,"sku":"51121214","price":74.9,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2423\/0853\/files\/7513d4ab-b434-49c4-888b-1de8f8f1cbfb.png?v=1781622026","url":"https:\/\/alike.live\/en\/products\/glina-sibelco-r2505-10kg","provider":"Alike Pottery Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
