Buff Clay Bodies

Our buff clay bodies are great all-rounders - ideal for throwing, coiling and slabbing. These are high-quality yet affordable clays for schools, colleges, community and charitable organisations, and are equally suited to the professional user. 

New for 2022, our Premium Buff recipe is a re-working of our popular buff clay recipes which had to be discontinued in March 2022 due to unavailability of a staple raw material. It has been developed with a higher percentage of premium raw materials including the exclusive Coombe Fireclay available only to Potclays from the Birch Coppice clay mine in South Staffordshire. This unique fireclay is rich in iron and produces a light fleck when fired at stoneware temperatures.

Etruscan Buff is based on highly refractory fireclays and grog additives and offers good warp and crack resistance. It is a very plastic clay body for multiple uses and is ideal for throwing and modelling. It fires a light buff/grey colour.
