    And as far as I know only one of the brands comes in the form of
    high-shrinkage clay (28%), which can be a great advantage in certain
    cases. It is a very forgiving material, doesn't dry out as fast, not
    as brittle when dry and even slightly flexible. The high shrinkage
    also shows textures better after firing and makes it easier to work
    on fine details. I don't use this kind of clay when strength and
    surface tension are required.
