KEANE Mid Fire Red Earth
Red Earth is a new popular addition to the Mid Fire Family. Inspired by the rich color pallet of the rocks and sands of central Australia. My smooth clay body targets both throwers and slab formers working with utilitarian scale, functional objects who look to bring some warmth to the table.
GLAZE
This body is the perfect canvas for both bright and earth toned glazes however many potters like to keep my natural body exposed to show off its burnt red tones.
Shrinkage 13.5% and Absorption rate 1.6%
COLOR & TEXTURE
This raw body presents a sunburnt orange that holds to bisque fire then deepens to an earthy red at glaze temperatures. With no added grog, Red Earth offers a finer texture than our Mid fire 33 Warm.
CLOSE RELATIVE
For those who love these earthy red tones however prefer more grog at higher firing temperatures, Red Earth's closest relative is Red Terracotta.
