Description
Redart is a red firing earthenware of moderate to low plasticity and low shrinkage. It fires light orange to dark red depending on firing temperature from cone 06 to 3. It fires much stronger and denser at cone 04 than 06 and achieves its best color/strength compromise at cone 02. It produces deep red color and stoneware properties at cone 1. It is airfloated to 200 mesh and has a long firing range. This is a very popular ingredient in clay bodies made across North America and it has been available for many years.
This material is quite high in iron thus the powder is a deep red color and quite messy to work with. Redart is also used by potters in glaze recipes, sometimes up to 60%.
