Description

BMX Cone 10 is a smooth, light-white throwing body that is easy to use and accepts a wide range of glazes. We have blended the optimum percentage of clays and raw materials to achieve a silky soft white (no iron spots) clay that can be used on the wheel or with hand building operations. BMX cone 10 may also fire to a white or a light stormy-sky gray color in reduction.
