Plainsman Snow Cone 06-4 White Ceramic Clay Body, 4 lb

Plainsman Snow Cone 06-4 White Ceramic Clay Body, 4 lb

Low temperature, smooth, plastic, white-burning, refined dolomite earthenware for modelling or casting. Widely used for decorative and functional ware.

Snow is highly plastic yet drying performance is excellent (other plastic bodies we made require much more care). It is more fragile in the dry state than other clays. Snow is good as-is for hand-building and sculpture but can tolerate sand or grog additions (e.g. 10%) for making large sculptural pieces.
Snow burns very white from cone 06 to cone 02. We do not recommend any particular firing schedule, but faster firing can help if the glaze is soaking into the body too much. Or, try to discover the temperature at which the glaze just begins to absorp and fire slightly below that (likely around cone 06).

Storage: Protect ceramic clay bodies from direct sunlight, avoiding excessive temperature changes and protect from frost.

Use: It is recommended to test clay body prior to large scale use in order to verify suitability in both the ceramic process (shaping, drying, firing and decoration) and the final application that is expected to be obtained.
