USE ONLY CLAY SOLD AT OUR CLUB:
Why?
Why?
- All of the clay sold at Marinette Clay Corner is designed for mid-fire applications (cone 5), our club standard "high" fire. You may not use any clay purchased outside the club without specific permission from a member of the Kiln team. This is important because other clay may be made for lower or higher temperatures, and can damage our kilns.
- All of the clay sold at our club is food safe. Other clay may be toxic if used for food.
