Clay Goerg & Schneider 24 10kg

Goerg & Schneider 24 Clay – light, smooth throwing body

Goerg & Schneider 24 is a light, smooth throwing body for lower firing temperatures. It does not contain grog, which allows for a smooth surface and precise details. After firing, it turns white to light in color, providing a neutral base for glazes and decorations.

Characteristics:

• Fired color: white to light
• Application: throwing
• Form: plastic clay, packed in 10 kg
• Firing temperature range: 1000–1150°C
• Grog content: none
• Drying shrinkage: approx. 7%
• Firing shrinkage: 4% at 1070°C; 6% at 1140°C
• Water absorption after firing: 6% at 1070°C; 1% at 1140°C

Recommended for mugs, bowls, plates, small vases, and pieces requiring a smooth surface. The range ends at approximately 1150°C, so glazes designed for this temperature should be selected, and manufacturer's recommendations should not be exceeded. A good choice for those looking for a smooth, light clay body for lower firing, e.g., when working with ready-made low-temperature glazes or in kilns with limited power.

The given parameters are approximate. The final color, shrinkage, water absorption, and glaze behavior depend on the kiln, atmosphere, soaking time, and firing curve. Before producing a larger series, we recommend a technological test with the chosen clay body and glaze.
