Designed as a low-fire stoneware body, Shale LoStone typically matures around 1160ºC, giving a dense, vitrified surface while using less energy than traditional high-fire stoneware. Its deep grey tone provides a dramatic base for glazes, slips and oxides, with the lilac cast at lower temperatures adding extra visual interest. Whether you are producing tableware, sculptural forms or cast pieces, this smooth, versatile clay body delivers reliable results and a contemporary, atmospheric finish.
