What we liked

  • + Moist terra cotta body described as smooth and highly plastic, usable for throwing, hand building and sculpting
  • + Stated firing range of cone 06 to cone 2 covers standard low-fire schedules with room to go hotter
  • + 10 lb pack is a practical middle size between small sample blocks and 25 or 50 lb boxes, and it is made in the USA

Trade-offs

  • - Higher cost per pound than the 25 and 50 lb boxes of terracotta, so it suits occasional rather than heavy use
  • - Listing gives no shrinkage or absorption figures, and it must be kiln fired, unlike air-dry terracotta clays
