Description Ash is cool, calm and collected as it fires to a beautiful off white color. This mid-fire white stoneware is similar to our BMX but with a cooler undertone. With a very small additional of fine mesh sand, Ash has the body to throw or coil big while keeping a smooth consistency to it. Ash works well in both oxidation or reduction atmospheres, where it fires to a cool white and slight light gray color.
