Technical Specifications Description A very smooth production body for throwing and hand building firing to an off white colour. Mesh : 60# Recommended Firing
Glazes Decorative (non-functional) glazes are available in the Walkers Earthenware glaze range. Presentation Fully de-aired 10 kilogram block wrapped in recyclable polythene bags. Moisture content of standard clay is 22% to 24%, PR 3 to 4. Other moisture contents are available on special request using our Penetrometer Readings (PR) outlined below.
Preparation Crude clays are blunged, sieved and passed over rare earth magnets, then stored in constantly agitated farm tanks. Final body blend is made with millimetre accuracy with powdered raw materials being added and agitated in. With this manufacturing method we can ensure reproducible recipe formulation to within 0.1%. Final body in liquid form is sieved and passed over rare earth magnets once again and then filter pressed. Filter pressed clays are then stock piled in cake form and allowed to age. Extruding takes place through a de-airing pugmill and clay is sealed airtight in polythene bags which can be stored indefinitely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
