White Bear ^5-7Super smooth and plastic semi porcelain clay body. The whitest midrange stoneware known to man, and bears. A perfect match for those who prefer a porcelain style clay but need a bit more plasticity on the wheel. Can also work well for hand building, but please note that as White Bear shares many characteristics with a porcelain extra care needs to be taken with forming and drying for best success.
