Macs Mud The Weekender Clay

 A gorgeous warm reddish brown mid-fire (cone 6) clay. Made from a blend of five New Zealand clays, this adds a rich depth of colour and a range of clay particle sizes for added greenware strength. This is a real favourite of ours, used for our own pottery during weekends (hence the name!).

Best application: Throwing and hand building.
