{"product_id":"ember-lostone-low-fire-clay","title":"Valentine Ember LoStone Low Fire Clay","description":"\u003cp\u003eLoStone is the UK’s first low-fire stoneware offering all the strength and beauty of traditional stoneware, but with the ability to be fired at a lower temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"isPasted\"\u003eLoStone Ember is a warm, burnt red stoneware clay enriched with subtle salmon undertones at lower firing temperatures. Its rich, earthy surface makes it perfect for expressive ceramic forms, offering depth and character that evolves beautifully through the firing range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoStone Ember is ideal for throwing, modelling, and casting with a smooth yet tactile texture that responds well to both traditional and contemporary techniques. Its distinctive warm tone provides an excellent base for slips, oxides, and glazes, while its lower firing range makes it an exceptional choice for potters and educators seeking a sustainable, cost-effective stoneware with unmistakable character.\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: Red.\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":55824452288898,"sku":"P1711","price":15.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4399\/1066\/files\/Ember-LoStone-Low-Fire-Clay.jpg?v=1760533635","url":"https:\/\/potterycrafts.live\/products\/ember-lostone-low-fire-clay","provider":"Potterycrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
