Navajo Wheel is a blend of IMCO clays selected to produce a smooth textured plastic red clay. Navajo Wheel is an excellent wheel and hand building clay where a deep red tile color is desired. An excellent clay for school. This clay is made of local clays, having traveled an average of 35 miles from pit to our pug mill. This clay was originally designed as a cone 6 body but as the clay has changed in the pits Navajo Wheel now vitrifies at cone 8 (this change occurred around 2015)
