A bit more about this clay…

Gagliano Stoneware was developed by Roberto Gagliano, founder of Pottery Gagliano in Brighton, to meet a specific need in his own ceramic practice: a clay body capable of supporting large forms while maintaining their shape and structural integrity during throwing. With a slightly grogged texture, this stoneware clay offers the body and stability needed to work on a larger scale, helping potters build ambitious forms with confidence. At the same time, it is versatile enough for throwing smaller forms, making it suitable for a wide range of ceramic projects. Developed through Roberto's years of hands-on experience, it reflects his approach to ceramics, combining technical performance with a sensitivity to shape, proportion and form.

With a recommended firing range of 1200-1300C, Gagliano Stoneware is the result of practical experience and a passion for pushing the possibilities of clay.

Created by a potter, for potters, who want to think big and build with confidence.
