Thanks in advance,

I didn't find any European manufacturers of skin coloured clay, but the
three USA companies I mention below sell internationally or have
European dealers.
1.
Bell Ceramics (another USA company) manufactures porcelain slip for
dollmakers
Has a number of flesh colours and provides a list of international
suppliers by country, with phone numbers.
2.
Seeleys (of New York) also has a number of flesh colours, and has links
to overseas vendors
http://seeleys.com/
(Scroll down to the Porcelain Slip link in the left hand menu for the
skin tones)
(Click the "Store Locator" button in the main frame of the home page for
the "Foreign Store Locator" link.
3.
Our Clay House (based in the USA but
sells internationally)
(Wholesale & Overseas sales sister company to Touch of Color Ceramics
)
Our Clay House is the dealer for Byrne Ceramics, which makes a number of
flesh tone porcelains.
Click menu button "Overseas Consolidation" for information on
international ordering.
4.
Byrne Ceramics has a web site but it is
virtually useless, so I suggest you would be better off using the Our
Clay House contact (see above.)

Who's skin color? Probably the best route would have you add a stain
to white clay.
