Important information

Everything is dishwasher and microwave safe, except for the handmade cake stands.

All the handmade pottery is made by Linda in her studio in west London. All the manufactured pottery is made to Linda's designs.

The porcelain clay is mixed in Stoke-on-Trent. It is fired to a high temperature in electric kilns and resists chipping or cracking.
The glazes are made in the studio and contain no lead or cadmium.
Glaze materials: feldspar, quartz, kaolin, calcium carbonate, dolomite, and borax frit from CTM potters supplies. Colourants: small amounts of rutile, copper oxide, nickel oxide, cobalt oxide, and tin oxide.

Potter and author of Contemporary Tableware, #SpecialEffectGlazes, #ColourinGlazes, #ScienceforPotters Making functional ceramics, inspired by lichens
  • Another glaze test of bronze, this time with a yellow glaze. The bronze glaze is made from manganese, copper oxide and clay. It reacts with each underlying glaze differently during firing, sometimes with multiple dendrites like mocha diffusion or dendritic agate; other times there are drips that can run all the way down the sides of pot. I made these as part of my research for my Emmanuel Cooper Glazes book. He was also inspired by Lucie Rie and I have included her glaze recipes.

  • Bronze glaze test, this one’s a bit runny. Fired in an electric kiln to cone 8. Recipe from my book Special Effect Glazes.

  • Some good results from our glaze workshop @studiopotterylondon The crackle glazes didn’t crackle as much as expected but the matt and satin matt glazes came out well. The gloop glaze also worked really well, fired at cone 7-8. The final photo is the mix of all the leftover glazes.

  • Small test bowls trying out different bronze glaze recipes with various matt and glossy glazes inspired by Lucie Rie and Emmanuel Cooper. The fluidity depends on the bronze glaze recipe and application thickness as well as the glaze underneath. Fired to cone 8 in an electric kiln, the recipes are in my book Special Effect Glazes.

  • Lucie Rie had to make her own glazes at a time (in the 1940s) when there were very few glaze recipe books and no internet. She made mixtures of feldspar, whiting and china clay to which she added dolomite to make a matt glaze. In England there were few frits available outside the industrial potteries so she used zinc oxide as an additional flux to make her glossy glaze. She added tin oxide for white and uranium oxide or an American yellow stain to make her yellow glaze. For turquoise, she added copper oxide to a matt glaze base containing barium carbonate. For pink, she used lead chromate under her tin glaze, making a chrome-tin pink. Emmanuel Cooper was the first to study her glaze notebooks. He published some of her glaze recipes in Ceramic Review magazine in the 1990s. I will be including both Lucie Rie’s and Emmanuel Cooper’s glaze recipes in my book Emmanuel Cooper Glazes, coming out in January 2027.
