Zam Super Bod

If you’ve been searching for a clay that feels balanced in your hands and versatile on the wheel, Zam Super Bod delivers. This mid- to high-fire stoneware blends small, medium, and coarse clays into a smooth, dependable body that’s as comfortable for functional wares as it is for sculptural forms.

Wheel throwers will appreciate its responsive handling, while handbuilders can count on strength and durability through drying and firing. Fired in oxidation, it matures to a warm buff-tan tone, while reduction brings out deeper, varied buff hues that pair beautifully with a wide range of glazes.

Best fired between cone 6 and 10, Zam Super Bod offers low absorption and consistent shrinkage, making it a trusted choice for studio work and larger projects alike.

✨ Available now for pickup in downtown Colorado Springs, no need to haul from Denver!
