Description
B17C Stoneware is our best selling Stoneware Clay.
This body is a blend of selected low iron clays which provides an ideal background for a decorative approach to stoneware ceramics.
Popular with many potters both new and experienced due to its versatility and price.
This Stoneware Clay body behaves well on the wheel due to the addition of Silica Sand and is a very popular choice for throwers as very smooth on the pottery wheel.
B17C makes a good casting slip and you can find a recipe for making clay into casting slips within our digital brochure here
B17C Stoneware is often used by hand-builders for hand-building projects of smaller items.
We also offer a grogged version of this clay B17C Grogg which you can view here.
Due to the continued popularity and demand of B17C across all of the sectors we supply to, from studio potters to education to our distributor network, in 2023 we recognised the need for it to remain in stock.
As such, we now produce B17C on a dedicated plant ensuring it is constantly in stock,.

I have been using B17C for the past 25 years and have always found it a beautifully plastic clay which holds colour welland gives consistent results on large and small scale pieces. JanineMannion-Jones
