Choose this clay and prepare your tests

GE700 Anthra is anthracite stoneware in CHF and CHM. Compare the two grains for the relief you want; when choosing between Anthra and Utah, check colour, preparations and firing range together.

Compare colours and preparations while checking each clay’s firing conditions. Your choice must suit your kiln, decoration and intended use.

Record preparation, thickness, firing cycle and decoration on each test. Keep an unglazed area to compare the fired result.
