Polar Ice Clay

Super white, super translucent, super plastic porcelain. A casting version is also available.

This body employs New Zealand Halloysite, a super-white-burning kaolin from New Zealand. To that it adds the highest quality ceramic plasticizer available, making it the most plastic clay body you likely have ever used (of any kind)!

Disclaimer: Please match your expectations to the reality of what Polar Ice is. It is expensive compared to our other bodies because of the cost of materials and difficulty of production. But Polar Ice is not nearly as expensive as it would be if we were to purchase special filter-pressing, slurry-screening and pre-pugging equipment to guarantee top quality. We actually make it by mixing the powder and water right in the pugmill! Why? It is too plastic to be slurry-mixed (without huge quantities of water), too sticky to be filter pressed or extracted from a prepugger! Our production method is the only way it is possible. But that comes at a cost: Some fired specks and hard chunks. But if you are willing to make a commitment and adjust your expectations, you will be able to make ware that was once impossible for potters.
