Shale LoStone – Grey Low-Fire Stoneware Clay (10kg)

Shale LoStone is a smooth-textured, low-fire grey stoneware clay supplied in 10kg bags, with a rich dark body and subtle lilac tones at lower firing temperatures. It offers true stoneware strength across a 1060ºC–1220ºC firing window, making it ideal for contemporary functional ware, studio pottery and statement decorative pieces. Its responsive feel on the wheel and in hand-building makes it a reliable choice for potters, schools and community workshops.

  • Colour: Grey (dark grey with lilac undertones)
  • Firing range: 1060ºC – 1220ºC
  • Texture: Smooth
  • Suitable for: Throwing, modelling, casting

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.
