Earthstone ES60 Textured Crank Stoneware Clay

Earthstone ES60 Textured Crank Stoneware Clay is a finely grogged alternative to our ES 50 (Crank), offering a smoother surface and closer texture for handbuilders and sculptors. Designed to meet the demands of hand builders and sculptors who seek a clay with enhanced workability and surface texture. Its fine grog content enhances structural integrity while maintaining plasticity, allowing for detailed shaping and intricate designs.

Crafted with the needs of artists in mind, ES 60 provides a warm, plastic clay with excellent green strength, ideal for creating detailed and intricate forms that require a smoother finish than standard cranks can provide.

This clay body is well-suited for reduction firing and raku techniques, highlighting a versatile firing range from 1120°C to 1280°C. In oxidation firings, ES 60 yields a toasted buff colour, while under reduction, it develops a warm speckled orange buff hue, adding depth and character to fired pieces.
