Craft Crank Clay 1114
Description
Firing Range: 1170°C-1300°C
One of our flagship clays, the original Craft Crank is often copied but never bettered. Carefully graded grog additions to a superb blend of clays makes this clay outstanding for all larger forms of slabbing and handbuilding The unique plasticity of the clay enables the more adventurous potter to throw with it.
TIP: The trademark Craft Crank toasted colour occurs when the soluble salts in the body combine with the iron content at higher temperatures. This toasting is more pronounced in thicker section ware which has been dried slowly and fired to a higher temperature.

"I have been using this clay body for well over 30 years and find it ideal for my pottery needs. It is ideal for 'coiling' and other hand-building techniques. I mostly use it to make pots for Bonsai. The clay bags are not always consistant and some are harder than others and occasionally lack the desired plasticity for coiling which is why I haven't given it the 5 stars."

"I love this clay for it's texture, colour and ease of use. It's very good for hand building, especially large scale work, and finished pieces can be put outside."
