Product Details Laguna Chocolate Chip Speckled Buff Clay is a claybody specifically formulated by request from Midwest and Eastern US potters. Low in sand and grog content, speckled buff clay is relatively smooth in texture and makes for an excellent throwing body. Laguna Chocolate Chip Speckled Buff Clay’s colour palette has been described as ‘desert’ or ‘southwest’. This clay does great in both oxidation and reduction, due to the speckled inclusions that provide dimension in both types of firing. In oxidation, Speckled Buff falls into the tan/brown colour range, and customers have noted that the speckles do often appear through semi-opaque glazes.
