Activa Products - Blackjack Clay
Blackjack Clay
Silky-smooth clay fires beautifully from cone 6 to 10
Natural clays blended to achieve deep black throughout eliminate the need for surface staining or oxide additions. Activa's BlackJack maintains its rich color from wet clay through final firing, giving you consistent results whether you're hand-building sculptural forms or throwing functional ware on the wheel.
The silky texture handles beautifully across techniques, smooth enough for detailed modeling yet substantial enough for structural work. It responds well to both additive and subtractive approaches, holding crisp edges when carved while accepting coils and slabs without excessive slip. This versatility makes it equally suitable for beginners learning fundamental techniques and experienced ceramicists exploring complex forms.
Fire between Cone 6 and Cone 10 depending on your desired surface characteristics and glaze compatibility. The black body creates dramatic contrast beneath translucent glazes and provides striking visual weight when left partially exposed. Certified non-toxic formulation means it's appropriate for classroom settings and home studios alike.
