Body 359 is salmon to tan firing stoneware quality with 25 % chamotte 0 – 0.2 mm.
The recommended firing range is 1000 °C – 1220 °C.
The plastic body quality is suitable for building up smaller pieces and for throwing on the potter’s wheel, where it is also particularly suitable for larger pieces.
Very interesting effects occur when unglazed parts remain visible next to glazed ones.
