I had a ton of clay delivered today, it was quite amusing, the lorry driver rang me early in the morning to say he had my clay on his lorry and would deliver around lunch time. sure enough at lunch time this huge lorry turned up outside the cottage, Ian my next door neighbour came out to have a look at what a Ton of clay looked like. The driver opened the back of the lorry and there was no clay on there just five pallets of boxes, well we just fell about laughing.
apparently it was still at the depot, anyway they put it in a smaller van and delivered it two hours later, but we had to unload it by hand.

Your fired pieces are wonderful! How are you firing - gas/reduction - oxidation?
I really like your work.
Nice wall of clay. The pots are ace.
Hi Judy, I gas fire but try to keep it Oxidation. This last firing was 1100.
Paul - you've gotten wonderful results! Luscious glazes & great forms! Is that 1100 celsius? And are you using earthenware?
Hi Yes it's 1100 celsius and I use a smooth Earthenware clay. I make the glazes up myself the main ingedient is lead bisilicate.
