Our clay is $25/bag. A warm toasty color with a "non-toxic" black speckle. (Say what? It uses "frit" as an alternative to manganese. Manganese carries health & safety issues for skin entry & inhalation during firing...aka no thank you!) Thus, frit has been added to create speckles of varying sizes for a natural reduction body feel and look. These frits add a bit of texture in the raw state, similar to the feel of grog and can be somewhat prickly. You may need to sand the bottom of your pot after firing to smooth them down.
