LO Stone Clay - Ember 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 Ember is a warm, burnt red stoneware clay enriched with subtle salmon undertones at lower firing temperatures. Its rich, earthy surface makes it perfect for expressive ceramic forms, offering depth and character that evolves beautifully through the firing range.

As part of our pioneering LoStone range, Ember 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.

Mixable Clays that can be easily mixed together in different combinations.
