Feeneys Buff Raku Trachyte (BRT) 12.5kg

This clay has a warm brown hue with a coarse, sandy texture and a unique, speckled effect created by the trachyte that is mixed through the clay body. Creates a beautiful natural effect that is very popular in contemporary ceramics. Can be used on its own or glazed - translucent glazes work best as they allow the speckled pattern to show through. Trachyte can damage kiln shelves and affect the foot of future artwork so it is important to maintain separate shelves for BRT firings and white clay bodies, to avoid contamination. Kiln fire at 1100-1300C.
