Loved throwing with the speckle clay. It wasn't too gritty. The speckles show through an opaque glaze. It was also nice for handbuilding, there was little warping on my plates.

Love this clay. Texture, malleability, slow drying time. Can't wait to make bigger pieces.

This colour really brought these pumpkins to life!!

Incredible depth for only 1 glaze, super impressed. Itโs pretty thick but stables even with 3 coats.

1) I appreciate you resending the clay and wearing the loss after your mistake of sending it to the wrong state, but I never received the glaze, so only part of the order which is frustrating and an in essay loss to me. 2) the clay is SO soft and hard to work with. Throwing - it wonโt hold its own shape and collapses. Then at leather hard as soon as you add water it turns to mush. Handbuilding - same issue but a little more workable. I will say, it does fire to a beautiful colour. I managed to still get some pieces made - though they are wonky. But everything was so much harder than it had to be.

Great colour rich red used on my chickens. Used 2 coats of deep glossy red on the chicken body and 1 coat of lucent indigo.

I donโt have a proper picture but all 10 pieces turned out bubbled. Tiny little bubbles.l through the glaze. The clay is a Keanes stoneware and 3 good layers didnโt bring out the yellow but Iโve got another batch going in so maybe this will come out differently.

About this piece , I printed a clay from a wood block , so the glaze really fits to it

Stunning glaze, dips beautifully, this is layered under a pink with flux and itโs a wonderful combo!
Kara A. 5/5 Verified
Stunning!! Absolutely love the way it breaks and the slight crystalline affect where it pools ๐

Gorgeous! Two of your new glazes. Amazon and Camelia. Brushed on beautifully. The Amazon ruins a bit but I love the effect.

Lovely to work with and stable holds its shape in the kiln on glaze

My new favorite clay
Daniel M. 5/5 Verified
Gorgeous glaze, deep green and translucent as expected. Just a little tricky to apply (like a dipping glaze) so I might need to add some brushing medium.

These arenโt the best pictures but itโs wonderful, sparkles gold in the light, with just the right amount of iron.
