Last week we had a new NZ ball clay delivered to site which we are super excited about! This material is a much cleaner (low lignite) ball clay than the darker clay shown in photo 1 & 2
Lignite?
Lignite is an organic material found in some ball clays
Can lead to issues such as:
‼️Pinholing
‼️Bloating
‼️Black Coring
Cleaner Ball Clay:
✅ Improved stability
✅ Better consistency
As we continue improving stability and quality, we’ll be phasing out the darker ball clay used in some of our historic blends.
Why? Cleaner clay means less variability and fewer firing surprises 🥳
