Rocky Mountain Clay Day

Community Clay is located in Denver, Colorado, home of Rocky Mountain Clay. Instead of getting our clay shipped to us, Rocky Mountain Clay is just a few miles away!

In honor of our favorite clay manufacturer, we are hosting an event called Rocky Mountain Clay Day at our studio. Imagine trying 5 different types of clays made in Denver, then we'll fire and glaze them for you to keep. You will be able to buy these clays at a discount in either 25 or 10 pound bags, and RMC will be bringing some special Kiwi underglazes. We're keeping the price low so everyone can have a try!

Our studio always has Rocky Mountain Clay's BMX, Dover, and Speckled Buff on hand, but for this special day we will have:

• Speckled Brown Trout

  A toasty, medium brown color with varying speckles throughout. Looks lovely both glazed or unglazed. This clay is truly a pleasure to work with in all forms.

• Flagstone

  RMC's most popular dark mid-fire clay with great results in both thrown functional ware and sculptural pieces. Versatile use with an outstanding medium red-brown color.

• Chestnut

  Like the name describes, this clay fires a warm, rich, nutty brown color. Excellent handling and firing properties. Suitable for throwing and sculptural ceramic projects and looks beautiful glazed or unglazed.

• Quarry

  A course, oatmeal colored clay used for handbuilding and sculptural projects. It displays its grog with a beautiful, slight grain variation throughout.

• Evergreen Ash

  Announcing the first launch of Evergreen Ash! This custom mid-fire stoneware is a rich green-tinted take on RMC’s popular Ash clay body. It features a small addition of fine mesh sand for extra strength and structure, ideal for throwing or coiling larger forms while maintaining a smooth, easy-to-work consistency.

We hope to see you on June 6, 2025 for Rocky Mountain Clay Day!
