From the top:
Large stoneware mixing bowl for Udon noodles. Oatmeal and dolomite glaze.
Fruit bowl. Anthracite with scarva brush-on details.
Shallow thrown dish with dark oatmeal outside and antique red inside. Don't know what went wrong with the red, but I liked it!
Storage jar. Lots of brush-on glazes.
Two mugs with topaz brush-on glaze and temouku rims.
Zapper holder. More brush-on glazes. (I use them a lot, if you haven't worked that out already)

The Pots you are going to see next vary in style, method and form a great deal. I have ried to sort them into groups. When I get an idea into my head I cannot use a sketch book to rough these ideas out....I use clay, so most of these are in series' with recognisable themes or glazes.
I use stoneware all the time, usually Arctic White, Toasted Stoneware, Delta or Peter Beard Grogged. These are all from Valentines in Stoke-on-Trent. Glazes are from Potterycraft, Potter's Connection or direct from Scarva. I bisque to around 960C and glost to 1230-1240C in an electric kiln.
Everything I do has to have the workshop location borne in mind. It's in a room in our house and dust is the main issue. I try to avoid working dry clay anywhere indoors, and fettling and smoothing has to be either done on leather-hard clay, or outside.

All these are thrown and in use at home. The blue glaze on the two to the left is Scarva Galaxy....my favourite glaze. You never quite know how it's going to turn out! This, I like.
