Gray Sculpture Clay with Fine Grog

Gray sculpture clay body with 40% fine grog (up to 35 Mesh). Formulated for artistic and decorative ceramics, it is ideal for sculpture and pieces for outdoors (garden pots, tiles, etc.). The high content of grog confers a beautiful textured surface and an excellent behavior during drying and firing. Depending on the firing temperature, it develops an interesting range of grays, from cement to dark gray, which satisfies the most avant-garde trends in artistic and decorative ceramics. Available in extruded body (moist form).
