Description

ES 50 Earthstone (Crank) is an ideal clay body crafted specifically for hand builders and sculptors seeking exceptional quality and versatility.

With a firing range spanning from 1120°C to 1280°C, ES 50 adapts to various firing conditions, producing a toasted buff hue in oxidation firings and a rich, warm speckled orange buff under reduction.

Its suitability for raku firing further enhances its appeal, making it a preferred choice for artists looking to achieve unique surface effects and textures.
