Aurora Pottery - Black Mountain Clay (High-Fire) - Cone 10 - Fires to a deep Brown/Black Clay, Medium in Texture (10 Pounds)

This is my first hi-fire clay. I have been using lo-fire. This cone 10 clay threw very easily and the walls held up well. The picture is just after coming off the wheel.

I needed this clay to smelt iron. It served its purpose very well. It is very smooth in the hand, no contaminants as far as I can tell.

Used to make kiln cookies 😎

Beautiful to mold. Very pliable and easy to work with. Working with it is wonderful. Will definitely buy again.

The clay is very easy to work with and I would defiantly recommend this clay to anyone I bought 50 pounds so I’ll be able to make a lot of sculptures and the package arrived faster than when it was estimated to arrive.

I rarely use cone 10 clay except when I'm using porcelain I like clays from Aurora and have used othersthe consistency of this black or dark brown clay is usable and I handbuild most things but the CLay was bisqued to 04 then fired to cone 10 mugs had underglazes on and cone 6 glazes all glazes came out dark no color clay slumped in places shrunk a bit tooIt might have done better at a lower firing

Even though the item took longer than expected to arrive this was overshadow by the fact the clay is great quality, extremely easy to handle, and price is affordable.

The product is exactly as expected and the seller is very accommodating if there are any shipping problems. I will continue to purchase from them in the future!!
