Leather color ceramic clay no. 2 sf (1000-1280°C)

The leather-coloured stoneware no. 2 sf has a 25% chamotte content in the 0 - 0.5 mm size range. With its rustic colouring it is particularly suitable for weighting techniques and offers an interesting compromise to classic blushes and light-coloured masses. The quality of the clay as well as the packaging corresponds to the high standard of all German Witgert ceramic clays. Due to the reasonable price, this clay is often supplied to hobby ceramic workshops and is also suitable for teaching spinning on the wheel. Due to its chamotte content and its other properties, it is suitable for medium-sized products and for weighing techniques. For smaller, more detailed products the version without chamotte content 2 can be used, on the other hand for larger and more robust products we also offer this material in chamotte version 2 sg (25% chamotte 0 - 2 mm).

Witgert masses are well packaged in a strong PE bag secured with an aluminium clip. They can be easily transported and the clasp on the packaging can be re-closed with pliers when the required quantity is removed. Witgert ceramics are produced using wet or semi-dry technology (flakes). They are not made from dry powdered or granulated mixtures, thus avoiding the hardening that is common with such materials, which occurs after a certain time of storage even without breaking the packaging.

For long-term storage of our ceramic clays, we recommend placing them in a low-heated area (garage, basement, etc.) without the risk of freezing, put them in a black bag and tie them up. The absence of light will prevent the formation of mould. Stored in this way, the materials have a virtually unlimited shelf life.
