- Leather stage clay: This is when the clay is hardened a little more so you can trim, add handles, and make other alterations before the clay gets too hard. The clay is called leather hard because it has the feel of soft leather. The clay has stiffened up enough to be to able handle it without marking it up with your fingers.
- Bone dry stage: This is when the moisture is totally out of clay and dry enough to be creamed with fire. Some potters do candle it just to make sure it’s dry.
