Information from Stone Leaf Pottery:
Redstone, one of Stone Leaf’s classic favorites, will be at the 2000# price during September. You know Redstone as your favorite medium-grit red mid-fire clay body, but it’s so much more! It’s perfect for outdoor projects, with such a tight structure that it can weather the elements no problem. Thinking about making a bird fountain, a garden stack, an outdoor planter or a cute garden gnome? Redstone’s where it’s at! Redstone is a deep, gorgeous red with enough tooth to keep your larger pieces standing on the wheel or hand-built on the work table. Marble it, sculpt it, throw it—it’ll do wonders in every situation.
