AVAILABLE CLAYS:
Speckled Brown Trout
A toasty, medium brown color with varying speckles throughout. Looks lovely both glazed or unglazed. This clay is truly a pleasure to work with in all forms.
Flagstone
RMC's most popular dark mid-fire clay with great results in both thrown functional ware and sculptural pieces. Versatile use with an outstanding medium red-brown color.
Chestnut
Like the name describes, this clay fires a warm, rich, nutty brown color. Excellent handling and firing properties. Suitable for throwing and sculptural ceramic projects and looks beautiful glazed or unglazed.
Quarry
A course, oatmeal colored clay used for handbuilding and sculptural projects. It displays its grog with a beautiful, slight grain variation throughout.
Evergreen Ash
Announcing the launch of Evergreen Ash! This custom mid-fire stoneware is a rich green-tinted take on RMC’s popular Ash clay body. It features a small addition of fine mesh sand for extra strength and structure, ideal for throwing or coiling larger forms while maintaining a smooth, easy-to-work consistency.
