LO Stone Clay - Drift 10kg

LoStone is the UK’s first low-fire stoneware offering all the strength and beauty of traditional stoneware, but with the ability to be fired at a lower temperature.

LoStone Drift is an off-white, speckled stoneware clay with a clean, natural surface and gentle tonal variation. Its attractive light speckling adds depth and character, enhancing the subtle beauty of the potter’s craft in every piece.

As part of our pioneering LoStone range, Drift is the UK’s first low-fire stoneware, achieving vitrification at 1160°c. Traditionally, stoneware has required high firing temperatures, but LoStone Drift redefines this standard, delivering the strength, durability, and refined appearance of high-fire stoneware at significantly lower temperatures.

LoStone clay requires less electricity to fire, which makes a real difference both environmentally and practically. By maturing at a lower firing range, it reduces the overall energy consumption needed in the kiln cutting costs for makers while also lowering its carbon footprint. This energy efficiency means that potters can create durable, high-quality stoneware while being mindful of their environmental impact.
