Ceramic red clay no. 10 (1000-1200°C)

Red no. 10 is an unwritten standard and a classic among ceramic masses. Together with masses no. 2 and 11, it is one of the best-selling clays in our catalogue for a long time. An interesting feature of this red clay compared to others is its light yellow colour before firing (Wester Wald, Germany). The iron contained in this mass is only coloured at temperatures above 500°C. This unique property is especially appreciated by cleaning personnel and you do not have to worry about red colouration of tools. This ceramic mass is also very popular among ceramists due to its good price. The quality of the clay as well as the packaging corresponds to the high standard of all German Witgert ceramic clays.

Witgert masses are well packed 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, which avoids the hardening that is common with such materials, which occurs after a period 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.
