Designed as a replacement for (and evolution of!) our popular Sea Mix 5 clay, Sea Mix 6 is an extremely workable mid-range stoneware that is so easy to use it makes you feel like a pro. An excellent clay body with all of Sea Mix 5’s superpowers, it’s great for throwing and sculpting alike, and fires to a soft off-white. Makes your mid-range glazes pop. Ideal for throwing, hand building, jiggering, pressing, and dinnerware… just for starters.

A quick note on what is new about the (new) Sea Mix 6

We’ve tweaked the Sea Mix 6 formulation because of the G200 Feldspar shortage. For those of you who have already tried—and loved—it, never fear! We’ve found a chemically identical feldspar through another source, and after many rounds of testing, we like the (new) new Sea Mix 6 even more than before!
