IMCO Night Info
Manufacturer Notes: This smooth cone 5-6 body fires a dark black in oxidation. It is designed with Navajo Wheel in mind. One will find the same great plasticity that makes Navajo Wheel a great throwing body in Night. This Body is for oxidation firing only. Make sure fumes are not breathed off kiln. DO NOT RAKU. To get bright colors we recommend using a white engobe under your glazes. This will allow brightly colored glazes to shine and reduce pin holing. Recommended biscuiting at cone 04 to improve glaze performance.

Seattle Pottery Supply SP698, Eclipse (black clay) Info
Manufacturer Notes: Color: dark grey/black / Texture: slightly smooth (< 5% grog) / Firmness: medium.
Eclipse is a very dark gray mid-range stoneware clay body that fires to black when glazed. Designed to replace (and one-up) our old Midnight Black clay, it is formulated with lower manganese levels for user safety. Stronger and less likely to bloat than previous dark clays, it fires to 0% porosity to ensure strength, good glass development, and a body that can be put to the test. It has a rich, sophisticated color when unglazed, and offers a fantastic contrast for marbling or combining with lighter clays.

IMCO Stoneware 1C (cone 8) Info SDS
Fires sandstone color in oxidation and a brown in reduction. Contains a fine silica sand. Note: upper tile is fired oxidation, lower tile is fired in reduction. As per the manufacturer..."Stoneware 1-C will give the appearance of a cone 10 reduction clay body when fired to cone 5 in oxidation. This body is made of local clays averaging just 25 miles from the pits to our pug mill. Though it was originally developed as a cone 6 body changes in the clay pits have increased the temperature for vitrification to cone 8."
