Stoneware clay fires at higher temperatures clay 1180°C – 1280°C.  Normally stoneware clays mature when fired in the mid to high fire range. Porcelain has the capacity to look very delicate and refined but is also tough and non-porous and fires at 1250°C – 1300°C.  So, its uses are many and varied.  It can be used for detailed sculptural artistic work.

Stoneware and porcelain clay are two popular types of clay used by potters and ceramic artists. However, both clays have their own unique properties and benefits. Stoneware clay is more plastic, making it easier to work with and mould into shapes. Porcelain clay, on the other hand, is more elastic (like a rubber band) and can be harder to mould. Casting or pottery slips are a liquid form of clay used in mould
making. Made by deflocculating plastic clay.
