Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Lervis and our products
-
If you are a beginner, we recommend that you use a clay that works for several different techniques, containing approximately 25% chamotte with a grain size of up to 0.2mm.
If you want a light-colored clay, I recommend clay no. 254.
If you want a speckled clay, I recommend clay no. 930.
Both of these also work well with all glazes. -
