Axner Cone 9 - 10 Clays
(WC-910 - WC-918): Cone 10 stoneware and porcelain clays become vitreous when mature at temperatures in a range of about 2,300° F to 2,380° F (note, cones are a function of both temperature and time, which accounts for the range of temperatures noted).
Note: Axner Clays are formulated and categorized to perform as ^06, ^5 and ^10. Most clay can be successfully fired at varying temperatures (1 to 2 cones) above and below their indicated firing ranges. Variables do exist and testing must be done to ensure clay meets an individual's needs or circumstances.

This blend is 80% WC-918 and 20% WC-917. It maintains the incredible throwing properties of WC-918 but the the addition of WC-917 gives it a richer buff color.

If your pottery experience goes back to the 1960's and 70's you will probably like this clay. Its reddish color is reminiscent of clay bodies that were used in that era, but whose sources of ingredients have since run out.
