Grogs and Other Clay Body Additions
Grog is a powdered or coarse ceramic material, often pre-fired clay or molochite, which is added to clay bodies to improve working qualities and firing results.

Why Add Grogs to Your Clay Body?
There is a range of benefits to adding grogs to your clay. It can help to add texture in decorative work and reduce shrinkage during the drying and firing process. When fired, the addition of grogs can provide increased resistance to thermal shock in the kiln.
Other benefits include greater strength when producing larger or more complex projects, as well as providing better control during the sculpting or modelling process.
