CAC MIDRANGE CLAY – AKIO (25# BAG)

A heavily grogged, coarse clay that is excellent for large sculpture, architectural ceramics and outdoor planters.

Clay Art Center’s AKIO is a great commercial clay body for Architectural Ceramics use. Peter King, author of the book “ARCHITECTURAL CERAMICS for the Studio Potter” says, “It is both very plastic and very tough. With this clay body, anyone will be able to build large scale pieces and successfully take them thru the process of firing and installation.  This is the perfect clay for Architectural Ceramics.”
