PLV green 5kg

Green earthenware clay. Its green colour in oxidising atmosphere is a highlight in the range of low firing colours. Its fineness and plasticity make it an excellent choice for wheel- throwing and modelling. Very good behaviour with standard pottery glazes. Available in extruded body (moist form).
