B-Mix Cone 10 Stoneware Clay

B-Mix Cone 10 (B-Mix ^10) is a smooth, porcelain-like stoneware clay body known for its excellent plasticity and clean throwing characteristics. This clay is ideal for potters who want the workability of stoneware with the smooth surface and refined feel often associated with porcelain.

B-Mix ^10 is easy to center, shape, and trim on the wheel while remaining strong enough for handbuilding and slab work. When fired to cone 10, it develops a light cream to off-white color depending on the firing atmosphere. Its smooth surface highlights glaze color and detail, making it a favorite clay body for functional pottery and glaze-focused work.

Whether you're throwing mugs, bowls, plates, or sculptural forms, B-Mix Cone 10 offers reliable performance in both oxidation and reduction firings.
