M-332

Mid-temperature, sandy, plastic, semi-vitreous, native throwing body. Made from seven different native clay materials and  generally used for two reasons: its appealing warm red fired color at cone 5-6 and its combination of a sandy texture and high plasticity. Attractive when used with glazes that absorb and highlight body iron and with ware that leaves some bare patches of clay showing. Has exceptionally high dry strength.
