SIO-2 - BEGUR PINK PORCELAIN CLAY

SIO-2 BEGUR is a moist porcelain body distinguished by its pink fired tone, inspired by the granite shades of the Costa Brava. Highly plastic and stable in use, it is ideal for wheel throwing and hand modelling. Suitable for food-contact tableware, it offers a safe firing range in oxidising atmosphere and delivers excellent technical performance for both studio and production work.
