  • Description
  • Babu is the creamiest and smoothest clay of our three high-fire porcelain clay bodies. Firing between cone 8 and 10, this traditional porcelain fires white to off-white depending on the type of firing. Unlike other porcelains, Babu has fewer translucent qualities and a beautiful consistency for wheel throwing. Babu is a great option for those beginning with porcelain clays.
