5lb Pottery Clay: Best Mix- BMix - BMX - Mid Fire Cone 5-7 - Rocky Mountain Clay

Outstanding clay. Fires beautifully at cone 6. Very easy to work with on the wheel. Usually it’s very soft, although one bag I received was a bit more sandy feeling. I’m older so this clay is easier on my hands to center on the wheel and to form. Perfect moisture content. Drying time is average but unlike another clay I tried this one doesn’t crack green ware as it’s drying. Customer service is awesome. My shipment ended up in a a nearby city due to carrier not the seller. So I contacted Rocky Mountain and they sent me a new shipment. Several days later the first shipment arrived on my doorstep by , I’m assuming, the person who got my order. So I contacted the seller via Amazon so they could charge me for it . The glaze works perfectly on this clay body . I’ll definitely order again.

Wonderful clay, but needs stronger packaging!The clay itself is wonderful and works perfectly. I tested it right after opening and highly recommend the material. However, because the clay is extremely heavy, the shipping box broke open during transit.I strongly recommend that the seller double-box future shipments or explicitly label the package as heavy so the delivery carriers can handle it safely.

Great product - soft easy to use, plastic and good for hand building.

Was not easy to work with. Did alot of crazing. But it could be because I wasn't familiar with working it.

I really like this clay! It is fully vitrified at cone 6, fires to a cream white color, seems compatible with all of the glazes I use (occasionally I get some pinging post fire, but no crawling), it is very plastic and smooth to work with, doesn't have much grog at all, and has worked well for me for throwing and for hand building. My only criticism is that it typically arrives overly moist and takes some wedging or letting it sit to dry a bit before use, as otherwise is too sticky. It is fairly expensive on Amazon, I think that is probably because of bundling in shipping costs in the price, but it is still a good choice. Compared to another popular B-mix, I feel it is far superior, as the other brand often bloats at cone 6 and still isn't fully vitrified, (2%+ absorbtion).

ordered this item and 1 bag appeared to be stolen... the box looked like someone had ripped it open and took 1 of the 25lb bags. messaged the seller and a couple days later they sent the rest of the order... good quality clay.

Pretty good clay, I’ve bought this a few times now that I’ve gotten used to working with it. 1 box I got had a lot of air bubbles to work out and even then I still had some issues using it for slab pieces. My most recent boxes came damaged and falling apart so that’s a big bummer. Other than that it’s been really smooth and easy to work with on the wheel.

This was my first time ordering this clay through Amazon. The cost plus shipping is reasonable considering a trip to the nearest pottery shop would take an hour round trip. That alone makes it worth it for me.
