Clay of the Month White Bear by Kentucky Mudworks

White Bear by Kentucky Mudworks

Information from Stone Leaf Pottery:

‘Tis the season to throw with gorgeous white clay, and do we have the perfect clay body for you! White Bear is an incredibly smooth-bodied, plastic clay. It throws like an absolute dream. If you’ve ever worked with KY Mud’s iconic Brown Bear, White Bear is simply its white-as-snow counterpart! The whitest mid-range stoneware known to man, and bears, and a perfect match for those who prefer a porcelain style stoneware. White Bear also has stellar glaze compatibility, with a wide-range of glazes that look great on it. We recommend this to throwers over hand-builders as its plasticity is best enjoyed on the wheel!
