Plainsman M350 Cone 4-6 Medium Brown Ceramic Clay Body, 10 kg
Mid-temperature, finely ground and smooth, plastic, semi-vitreous, medium brown burning, native body for functional ware.
M350 is the material of choice if you need to make functional ware from a brown burning body.
M350 is very similar in composition to M390 and shares the very fine and smooth natural character and plasticity. Its lighter color will be suitable for all but very specialized glaze effects requiring a dark burning body.
M350 has medium plasticity and feels slick on the wheel and generates significant slip during throwing. While you will find it dries well for smaller items, as with any other fine-grained material, care and attention in drying are necessary in making larger pieces, especially flat plates, shallow bowls, and sculptural ware.
