Tucker’s Mid Smooth Stone is a very smooth, plastic clay with no grog or coarse fireclay in the formula. Mid Smooth Stone is designed as a throwing clay but it is also used for handbuilding when a smooth clean surface is required. Glazes are not muted at all. This is a good compromise between stoneware and porcelain. This clay fires to an off-cream colour at Cone 6 oxidation.

This is my favourite clay for throwing! It's so smooth and easy to work with, and it fires to a beautiful off white colour that works well with my underglaze designs.
This clay is one of the most versatile claybodies that I have used. It throws well and also works for handbuilding forms. It holds its own when making larger pots too. Mid Smooth Stone is my go to clay for my needs.
I really enjoy working with this clay for personal projects and while delivering classes. It's great for wheel throwing and hand building!
I have used many clay bodies but this one is my favourite. Its durability, colour and ability to successfully combine different glaze combinations makes it extremely predictable and dependable. I use this clay body for not only my own practice but also for my community studio. It’s perfect for wheel throwing and hand building and also great for beginners.
One of my favorite clay to use
This is an excellent basic clay, fantastic for beginner (and advanced!) potters. My one complaint is that sometimes there are traces of grog in it. However, it is very easy to use and can be worked with a lot without collapsing. Highly recommend!
