Clay Body Selector for Pottery Projects

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

This page helps potters choose the right clay body by walking through project type, firing range, experience, and finish. It gives a clear recommendation with explanations, a comparison table, and tips to avoid common issues.

Pick your project type, select your kiln's max firing temperature (or cone range), choose your experience level, and pick the finish you want. The selector will suggest a clay body and explain why it fits.

You can save your studio setup in the browser for quick reuse. Picking the wrong clay leads to cracking, warping, or dull glaze results.
