At Throw Clay LA, we fire to cone 6 in both electric and gas kilns—an ideal mid-range temperature that balances strength, glaze color, and firing cost. Cone 6 clay bodies offer a wide range of colors, textures, and personalities. In this post, we’ll explore the most common types used in our studio, how they behave on the wheel, and which ones best match different throwing styles.

Watch a simple lump of clay transform into something both beautiful and functional.

Form, Flow & Funtion is a rare opportunity to work alongside a nationally recognized potter known for his large-scale forms and thoughtful approach to clay.
