• Newman is a red burning, low plasticity, low dry strength fireclay useful in both plastic and casting bodies to impart red color.
• It has powerful staining abilities (beyond what its percentage of iron suggests).
• For example, even if diluted to 50% in a recipe, the body can still fire bright red in oxidation.
• Newman clay has a very fine particle size coupled with some large impurity particles in the plus 50 and even plus 30 mesh range.
• The crude material color is bright orange.
• Not surprisingly, bodies containing it complement it with ball clay and feldspar.
