This porcelain was developed for modelling and throwing using the finest materials available. Due to high plasticity this body is not suitable for casting and is only available pugged.
We are aware that some of our customers may notice that there has been a recent change to the raw clay colour of both Audrey Blackman and ES600 paper clay. This change will not effect performance and the clay will be the same as previously noted. For more information see here.
