Based on fireclay ingredients, Dune offers a beautifully textured, refined surface that performs well for both functional and decorative ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoStone Dune is ideal for throwing, modelling, and casting, with a highly workable texture and consistent buff tone that’s receptive to a wide variety of glazes. Its lower firing range makes it an ideal choice for potters and educators looking for a cost-effective, sustainable stoneware solution that doesn't sacrifice quality or performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoStone 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMixable Clays that can be easily mixed together in different combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin-top:0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;      tab-stops:list 36.0pt;\"\u003eTemperature Range 1060 - 1220°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;      tab-stops:list 36.0pt;\"\u003eTexture (1-smooth 10 coarse) 1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;      tab-stops:list 36.0pt;\"\u003eFired colour: Buff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best results and to achieve a vitrified finish, LoStone clays should be fired to cone 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting a compatible glaze, please consider the following temperature ranges:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCone 5–6 \u003c\/strong\u003e(1200–1220°C): Stoneware glazes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCone 1–4 \u003c\/strong\u003e(1140–1180°C): Mid-fire glazes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCone 04–01 \u003c\/strong\u003e(1060–1120°C): Earthenware glazes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALENTINE","offers":[{"title":"10","offer_id":55824259219842,"sku":"P1706","price":12.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4399\/1066\/files\/Dune-LoStone-Low-Fire-Clay.jpg?v=1760531907","url":"https:\/\/potterycrafts.live\/products\/dune-lostone-low-fire-clay","provider":"Potterycrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
