5kg recycled bag of 'House' Clay. TR5 is the main clay we work with in the Clay Hands studio. It is a stoneware clay that fires a rich buff colour and has a beautiful manganese speckle which we love because it gives a bit of depth and extra interest to glazes. 

The recycled clay goes through a meticulous process, starting with slaking in water to allow the clay particles to mature and refine. Afterward, it’s dried on a plaster bat and passed through a de-airing pugmill. The result is high-quality clay that often performs better due to its enhanced plasticity—the more mature the clay, the better it holds its form.

Our recycled clay is particularly well-suited for wheel throwing because it varies in consistency. This allows you to choose a bag that best fits your project—stiffer clay is ideal for taller vases, while softer clay is perfect for wider, flatter pieces.
