SIO-2® PA - White Earthenware Clay, Low Fire
4 lb (1.8 kg) Sample
PA is a white earthenware clay formulated for wheel-throwing and modeling. It is a high quality and polyvalent clay, very popular for its fineness and plasticity.
PA's balanced calcium carbonate content confers higher stability than traditional white earthenware clays. Its coefficients of thermal expansion are ideal for standard pottery glazes, in both single and twice firing processes.
PA is available in extruded body (moist form).
