Northcote White Handbuilding Raku Clay 10kg

In the classroom, this clay is excellent for teaching sculptural techniques, texture exploration, and raku firing processes. Students can create dynamic, hand-built forms, experiment with surface treatments, and explore the unique crackled glaze effects of raku firing. Its coarse texture provides structural strength, making it suitable for large-scale sculptures or abstract pieces. Teachers can guide students in form-building, textural contrasts, and firing techniques, allowing them to engage deeply with ceramic artistry. 

An open, white, sandy body ideally suited to raku firing and thermal shock situations. Equally good for hand-building rugged sculptural forms. Fires to a stone-like appearance at 1300ºC.
