Just like the sands of Egypt, this clay transforms into a lovely sandy buff color when fired in oxidation. But switch to reduction, and it takes on a deeper, darker buff tone. Cairo has light colored, smooth surface grog. This clay is perfect for handbuilding and throwing, making it a versatile choice.
