Sandia Red Cone 5 is a vibrant, semi-smooth red clay with sand that showcases a striking red color in oxidation at cone 5 and turns a rich chocolate hue in reduction. Known for its high plasticity, this clay is ideal for throwing, though it should be dried slowly and evenly if working on larger pieces to prevent warping. During firing, adding a small amount of fresh kiln-wash or fine sand can help accommodate shrinkage. Be mindful that Sandia Red has a strong colorant, so it may eventually stain your shoelaces red! Perfect for eye-catching ceramics, this clay combines aesthetic appeal with practical versatility. Sold in 25lb bags. CONE: 5 SHRINKAGE: 16% ABSORPTION: 1.9% PENTROMETERS: 6.5 Show more
