I have used this clay for 10 years starting at la Trobe University, Bendigo, Australia where I studied for my Visual Arts degree, majoring in ceramics. It was the main clay I used right through my 4 years at uni. When we moved back to NZ in 2012 I tried many other clays but nothing worked as well or was as versatile as Keane's white raku.I have almost no failures using this clay for raku firing and use it for all my hand building projects. At times I have thrown this clay with great success and it comes up amazing well when burnished.
