WMS 2502 clay – mass with black, fine fireclay (20%)

WMS 2502 is a subtle and decorative clay with 20% fine fireclay (0–0.2 mm), which, when fired, creates an effect of black, irregular dots on a cream or gray-brown background. The clay is well suited for turning and the construction of small hand-made forms, maintaining a balance between plasticity and stability during drying and firing.

Characteristic:

• Color after firing: from cream to gray-brown with visible black dots

• Application: turning, hand forming

• Form: plastic clay, packed in 10 kg bags

• Firing temperature range: 1000–1250 °C

• Fireclay content: 20%, fine black fireclay 0–0.2 mm

• Shrinkage on drying: approx. 5.5%

• Shrinkage when fired at 1250 °C: approx. 7%

• Water absorption after firing at 1250 °C: approx. 0.5%

This is an ideal proposition for ceramists who value natural surface effects and clear texture, especially when combined with transparent or translucent glazes.
