AMACO High Fire Moist Non Toxic Stoneware Clay, 50 lb, Buff No. 46, Brown 45083X

Wonderful clay!! Thank you!!

It came deliciously moist and so ready to hand build. It might be a little too moist for throwing without a little drying time. I primarily hand build and have been thrilled with this clay. I can't build fast enough! It also comes really fast once you order it which is nice. Now just to see if it glazes well. Really impressed with this clay so far! Just a heads up it is much browner then the product picture portrays. Still love it.

Fires like a dream, not the best to throw with but it’s very doable.

I saw that I could get this clay with FREE shipping from Amazon Prime so decided to give it a shot. I know other reviewers said that they had problems with air pockets and such but since I am using this clay as handbuilding clay this has not been an issue for me; infact, I have used one entire 25 lb bag and have only noticed 2 small air bubbles....not a problem. If you work with slab building, then this is a good clay at a decent price. I will be purchasing more as needed.

I kind of could not believe you get this much clay for $50 It’s great to work with and i’ve had it for 4 months and it’s still moist as long as you keep it wrapped up

I like the fired glaze colors on this clay body. It is also easy to use on the potter's wheel. It comes pretty moist but that is better for me. It does shrink quite a bit but most of these clay bodies without grog does that. No problems with bubbles as another review commented on. I do wedge my clay sufficiently though. This clay acts like porcelain to me as far as the glaze colors & smoothness.

I'm thoroughly confused wny some people had a problem with this clay. I'm happy to report that this clay had a very consistent moisture content and wedged it as usual before throwing on the wheel. Zero problems with bubbles, felt wonderful and I had a blast throwing it. i like to work with porcelain and as much as this is stoneware it had that nice buttery feel and performed like a champ. I'm looking forward to seeing it through the steps and will return for a follow up review.

For a mid-fire stoneware clay, this product is amazing. Smooth, responsive and resilient, it forms easily whether in a slab or on the wheel, and holds its shape well. Not one item made from it has suffered a mishap in the kiln or failed to take a glaze properly.
