Elephant Ear Sponges

Elephant Ear Sponges are flat shaped natural sponges that have a fine texture and are absorbent. Use to carefully moisten and smooth pottery surfaces.

"I hate to admit that I use the cheap, round, synthetic sponges. However, most potters prefer these higher quality natural sponges for throwing. Also goes better with a gift." - Steve

Amaco No. 25 White Art Clay

An all-purpose, low-fire, de-aired moist clay that is gray-white in the raw state and more intensely white when fired. It has an unusual resistance to crazing. Amaco No. 25 White Art Clay is suitable for all hand building methods, modeling, and wheel throwing. Its extreme plasticity makes even very large pieces easier to throw. White Art Clay is practical for the classroom and all areas of ceramics. Recommended to be fired at cone 06-05 (1830° to 1915°F), but pieces can be fired as high as cone 02 (2048°F) without distortion. At cone 05, shrinkage is 6.0%. This clay is talc free. A 50 lb (23 kg) carton contains two 25 lb (11 kg) bags.

"This is a good clay to start with if you're a beginner. Low fire, smooth (won't sand down your skin) and light colored. The image shows what it looks like after firing and glazing. It comes ready to throw in two 25lb. bags. That's enough clay to make about 50 cereal bowls or bud vases!" - Steve

Amaco No. 29 Brown Stone Earthenware Clay

Amaco No. 29 is formulated from several clays for plasticity and texture. This light brown earthenware clay contains tiny specs that give it the look of gas-fired and reduced stoneware. It contains a fine grit that makes it stronger and easier to throw larger pieces. This clay is excellent for all types of hand building, slab work, extrusions, sculpture, and wheel throwing. It can be fired at cone 04 to 5 (1911° - 2205°F) . Any Amaco low-fire glaze works well on this body. Because of its wide firing range, Amaco high-fire glazes also achieve good results. This clay is talc free. The 50 lb carton contains two 25 lb blocks of moist clay.

"This clay has a warmer color. It also contains grog, or sand, which makes it stronger for larger pieces." - Steve
