‘Ultimate Whiteness, Translucency, and Strength’

£5.26

Description

ES 170 Earthstone Glacier Porcelain, is a premier porcelain clay that combines exceptional whiteness, glass-like translucency, and remarkable strength.

These qualities make it an ideal choice for potters seeking both aesthetic and functional excellence in their porcelain work.

Unlike traditional porcelain, which often sacrifices plasticity for purity, ES 170 maintains both. This is achieved by using high-quality, low iron-bearing China clays, silicas, bentonites, and mineral fluxes, resulting in a porcelain that is brilliantly white, translucent, and highly workable.

ARTIST INSPIRATION

Natalie Bell

Natalie Bell, a ceramic artist from East Sussex, explores colour and repetition through slipcasting, a technique she finds both meditative and expressive. Her practice focuses on mould-making and casting, allowing her to create precise yet dynamic forms.

Using handmade moulds and in-house stained porcelain slip, she crafts vibrant vessels that are single-fired at 1260°C. Repetition is central to her work, enabling structured experimentation with colour and form.

Passionate about the emotional impact of colour, Natalie’s ceramics bring energy and joy to interior spaces. Continuously expanding her palette through triaxial blending, she creates contemporary, design-led pieces that balance function with artistic expression.
