NMCCH Chocolate by New Mexico Clay
Information from Stone Leaf Pottery:
Buy yourself some chocolate this season at Stone Leaf! Our Clay of the Month is New Mexico Chocolate—a rich, dark Hershey chocolate brown stoneware that approaches an almost black hue once fired. This smooth clay offers a texture similar to porcelain but with superior plasticity, making it exceptionally easy to throw. It is ideal for creating striking pieces with glazes that pop against its deep, dark color. So delicious you’d be tempted to eat it (though please refrain, as it is still clay), this mid-fire dark body is sure to become your next favorite.
