Body 374 is a grey to anthracite firing stoneware quality with 25 % black chamotte 0 – 0.5 mm. The recommended firing range is 1000 °C – 1200 °C.
The plastic body is very well suitable for building-up smaller and medium-sized pieces. Nice, light grey shades appear in a lower temperature range but change to anthracite and black as the temperature increases. An interesting surface can be achieved by exposing the black chamotte with a sponge.
