FIRING RANGE: CONE 4 - 6 (2167-2232oF) Wet Color: Gray Firing Color: Oxidation: Off-White Texture: Slightly Smooth (< 5% grog) Avg. Total Shrinkage: 11.32% at ∆5; Avg. ∆5 Absorption: 1.64% With Grog Avg. Total Shrinkage: 11.08%; Avg. ∆5 Absorption: 1.60% With Sand Avg. Total Shrinkage: 10.29%; Avg. ∆5 Absorption: 1.47% Designed as a replacement for (and evolution of!) our popular Sea Mix 5 clay, Sea Mix 6 is an extremely workable mid-range stoneware that is so easy to use it makes you feel like a pro. An excellent clay body with all of Sea Mix 5’s superpowers, it’s great for throwing and sculpting alike, and fires to a soft off-white. Makes your mid-range glazes pop. Ideal for throwing, hand building, jiggering, pressing, and dinnerware... just for starters. A quick note on what is new about the (new) Sea Mix 6 We’ve tweaked the Sea Mix 6 formulation because of the G200 Feldspar shortage. For those of you who have already tried—and loved—it, never fear! We’ve found a chemically identical feldspar through another source, and after many rounds of testing, we like the (new) new Sea Mix 6 even more than before! Want more detail? You can read all about the new Sea Mix 6 clay and the Custer Feldspar and G200 Feldspar shortages.

Throws very smoothly. I have been using this clay as my go to for throwing as I build my skills. It is ok for hand building, if you only use hand building in ceramics it is a little soft and takes a while to stiffen. Defiantly a great choice for the affordability!

I love this clay. Very soft and smooth. I’m just learning and trying out different clays but I’ve ordered this several times now. Can’t wait to see it fired and glazed.

Sea Mix 6 is great! I have always gotten it with grog, but this time I got it with sand per Seattle Pottery recommendation. I'm sure it will be perfect!

Sea Mix is the best mid fire white clay I have ever thrown with. I decided to try it on a whim and am so happy I did. I wish I could buy your clay in Colorado from the pottery stores here but unfortunately they don’t sell it. I will definitely order it again from your store as I love it
