Aspen Clay | RMC
Rocky Mountain Clay's Aspen porcelain is as fresh and white as the Colorado snow. This mid-fire porcelain clay body is achieved by blending high quality grollegs and kaolins to form a unique formula. They added special additives to its formula which allows them to increase its plasticity and better the results for handbuilding with Aspen compared to traditional porcelains.
This smooth clay fires a cool white in oxidation and the faintest light gray in other kiln atmospheres, making it one of the best mid-fire porcelains you can find!
