As the name implies, Versa Clay No. 20 is extremely versatile with many uses for the ceramist and potter. It is available in de-aired moist form only.

The extremely plastic quality of Versa Clay lends itself to all types of hand building and wheel throwing. Even the most delicate hand-formed ceramic flowers may be shaped paper-thin without cracking. No. 20 clay may be reworked and shaped much longer than other clays. It can also be press molded.

Versa Clay is recommended to be fired at Cone 06-04 (1855°-1971°F, 1013°-1077°C), but pieces can be fired as high as Cone 7 (2295°F, 1257°C). At Cone 04, shrinkage is 6.4%, absorption 14.6% and the bisque is bright white. At Cone 02 shrinkage is 6.1%, absorption 13.6% and bisque is cream buff. If fired over recommended temperature, thorough testing should be done to establish a good fit between clay and glazes.

Low-fire glazes and decorating colors retain true color and brightness when used on Versa Clay. Some Cone 5 AMACOŽ glazes may also be used with No. 20's cream buff color in high fire.
