Description
Plastic low fire smooth body. It is very plastic, throws nicely and is good for smaller hand-built pieces. This body was developed to conform with certain regulations set by the state of Connecticut. Some commercial glazes and underglazes do not fit this body. We highly recommend testing for glaze and underglaze fit.
