The classic, creamy, white, mid-fire stoneware of BMX with speckles.
With a tested and reliable firing range between cone 5 and cone 7, we recommend it preforms best at cone 5/6. The Manganese Speck displays a wonderful amount of speckling across your pieces that show beautifully through glazes. But just like most speckled clays, if it is fired hotter than a cone 7, it has the tendency to bloat and is not recommended for reduction without testing prior.
If you are a BMX and Speckled Buff fan, then the BMX Speck is the perfect clay for you.
