Dark pottery clay K144 – Expressional and versatile
The Bodmer K144 impresses with its unique firing color, varying from dark brown to deep black depending on the firing temperature. This clay, especially popular among artists and ceramic enthusiasts, is perfect for throwing, sculpting, and small slab work.
In a firing range between 1020 and 1100 °C, this manganese clay develops its characteristic, intense coloring, becoming increasingly dark as the temperature rises. Awe-inspiring effects are achieved through the contrast of bright glazes or engobes, which make the dark surface stand out.
Advantages of the dark pottery clay K144:
- Unique firing color: from dark brown to black
- Various application possibilities: throwing, sculpting, slab work
- Perfect for artistic effects with bright glazes or engobes
Important note:
Manganese clay, like K144, slightly softens the ceramic body during the firing. Therefore, all objects should lie completely on the insert plate to prevent deformation.
Use K144 to bring your creative ideas to life and use the deep dark firing color for exceptional ceramic works.
