This clay is no joke. The name actually refers to the gold-mimicking mineral Pyrite.
Fool’s Gold has a rich, warm, golden brown color with flecks of gold and an exemplary throwing ability. It has great fired strength and is perfect for tableware and drinkware. All pieces exhibit an extreme durability that will hold up in industrial dishwashers and the toughest things life has to throw at it.
Best at cone 5; it may bloat at higher temperatures.
