The clay has a high plasticity to make figures of recommended size up to 40 centimeters. It acquires a medium hardness when dried. To reach its maximum hardness it must be baked. It is not a ceramic for kitchen utensils such as casseroles since it does not resist direct fire as a finished product.
Red Clay: This clay is for firing at low temperatures. It is an excellent recommendation for beginner ceramists. To obtain the red color, it must be fired at a temperature between 800 and 900 degrees Celsius. If left to air dry for a few days it will turn brown. The clay has a high plasticity to make figures of recommended size up to 40 centimeters. A special characteristic of this clay is that it acquires excellent resistance (hardness) when raw when dried without the need to be baked. To reach its maximum hardness it must be baked. It is not a ceramic for kitchen utensils such as casseroles, since it does not resist direct fire as a finished product.
Pink Coarse Clay: To obtain the pink color, it must be fired at a temperature of 1150 to 1200 degrees Celsius. If it is left to dry in the air for a few days, it will turn slightly pink. The clay has a medium plasticity to make large-format figures of up to 70 centimeters. This clay has the characteristic that it can be fired up to 3 times. It is a refractory clay. It takes on a medium hardness when dry. It is ideal for sculptures with hybrid techniques that carry objects different from clay, that is, of another nature. To reach its maximum hardness, it must be baked. It is not a ceramic for kitchen utensils such as casseroles, since it does not resist direct fire as a finished product.
Pink Fine Clay: To obtain the pink color, it must be fired at a temperature of 1150 to 1200 degrees Celsius. If it is left to dry in the air for a few days, it will turn slightly pink. The clay has a medium plasticity to make figures of medium format up to approximately 50 centimeters. This clay has the characteristic that it can be burned up to 3 times. It takes on medium hardness when dry. It is a refractory clay. It is ideal for sculptures with hybrid techniques that carry objects different from clay, that is, of another nature. To reach its maximum hardness it must be baked. It is not a ceramic for kitchen utensils such as casseroles since it does not resist direct fire as a finished product.
The difference between the Coarse Pink clay and the Fine Pink is the grinding. The coarse is a grinding with a slightly greater thickness than the fine one that allows it to give a texture in large format. Very small lumps are felt that give stability to large pieces. The fine is slightly finer to give an intermediate texture. These two clays come a little thicker than the other clays that we handle. You can feel it when using them. The others have a texture similar to talcum powder.
Melon Clay: To obtain the melon color, it must be fired at a temperature of 1050 degrees Celsius. If left to air dry for a few days, it will turn a cream-colored clay. The clay has a high plasticity to make figures of recommended size up to 40 centimeters. It takes on a medium hardness when dried. To reach its maximum hardness, it must be baked. It is not a ceramic for kitchen utensils such as casseroles, since it cannot withstand direct fire as a finished product.
Coral Clay: To obtain the coral color, it must be fired at a temperature of 1050 degrees Celsius. If left to air dry for a few days, it will turn a greenish brown color. The clay has a high plasticity to make figures of recommended size up to 40 centimeters. It takes on a medium hardness when dried. To reach its maximum hardness, it must be baked. It is not a ceramic for kitchen utensils such as casseroles, since it cannot withstand direct fire as a finished product.
To start modeling, add water and mix until you get the clay paste. Recommended instructions for use are included. The clay is of spectacular quality.
