Information from Stone Leaf Pottery:
Fantastic news, folks: Maya Red is back at Stone Leaf as a regular clay body! A cone 10 showboat and our GM Lara’s favorite clay body, this clay is incredibly versatile in the studio. A medium‑red stoneware containing 60‑mesh sand for added strength and texture, it’s great for throwing, handbuilding, and sculptural forms. With a balanced shrinkage (~12%), it stays strong against warping thanks to sand reinforcement—great for large or hollow pieces. This clay is perfect for potters looking for a robust, textured red clay body with versatile firing atmospheres and a solid structure. Grab a bag today!
