Calling all hand-builders and sculptors alike! We have formulated a low to mid-fire sculpture body for demanding artists and craftsmen. Quarry is a coarse, oatmeal colored firing clay for modeling, tiles, press molding, and sculptural projects. It fires off white and displays its grog with a beautiful slight grain variation throughout. Although Quarry is successful at both a low-fire and mid-fire cone, we recommended matching your clear glaze with your designated firing temp to reduce the chances of crazing. It’s rough, it's tough, it’s ready and it works! Characteristics Cone: 06-6 Firing Range: Low Fire Clay Type: Earthenware Texture: Very Coarse Best for: Hand Building and Sculpture Coloration Wet Color: Off White Oxidation: Oatmeal Buff Reduction: N/A Statistics Avg. Shrinkage ±.5%: 10% (at cone 5 and 6) Avg. Water Absorption ±.5%: 3.5% (at cone 5 and 6) Cone 06 data reports shrinkage at 5.5% and absorption at 11.85% Images Image 1: Quarry in Oxidation, Cone ^6 (Electric Kiln) Image 2: Quarry in Oxidation, Cone ^06 (Electric Kiln) Image 3: Quarry in Reduction, Cone ^6 (Gas Kiln)
