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.

I often make setters, quickly thrown discs of clay that I place underneath porcelain pots to shrink with the pot during firing. These prevent warping. They are particularly useful for large bowls and essential for these Morandi lampshades without bases that I make for @handandeyestudio

They can only be used once for this purpose but after that you can batt wash them and use them as ‘cookies’ to place underneath anything with a runny glaze

Amazing results on our special effect glaze workshop @the_ceramic_garden_

Crystal glazes, oilspot, crawl and crackle fired to cone 7-8 in an electric kiln.

Thank you Nikki and Zoe for hosting. We enjoyed the delicious cakes and the glaze pub quiz.

Dimpled cups and pouring bowls. I’ve been making this range of dimpled ware since 2005. They are made from porcelain thrown on the wheel with a satin matt glaze on the outside and glossy coloured glazes on the inside.

I started with just pale pink and pale blue and later added other colours including grey, turquoise and lime green. I’m thinking of reducing the range of colours and including a celadon blue. Which is your favourite glaze colour?

Looking back to the Continuum exhibition in Oxford in May. There are still some of my pots available from @sarahwisemangallery in Oxford (all the turquoise ones have sold). The white, pink and grey vases are in the current summer exhibition and also available in the online shop at wisegal.com

This June I won’t be taking part in Artists at Home open studios in Hammersmith and Chiswick. I’ve been opening my studio for more than twenty years so I’m looking forward to having a chance to visit some of the other artists @artistsathome

I’ve been making this tableware range for 20 years, porcelain with a satin matt glaze on the outside and coloured glazes on the inside. I use the same base glaze, a runny, glossy transparent, to which I add various colouring oxides.

We use these bowls every day and it’s interesting to see how they fare in the dishwasher. The turquoise glaze containing 1% copper oxide is still glossy after hundreds of washes in the dishwasher. However, the pink glaze containing 2% rutile and 4% tin oxide has turned matt and has some faint metal marking from cutlery.

I had a look at the molecular formula of the glaze, it’s chemically stable with a flux ratio 0.3:0.7 alkali metals to alkaline earths. Both copper oxide and tin oxide act like alkali metal fluxes. However, the larger amount of tin oxide (4%, 0.1 in the UMF) is bringing the total alkali metal flux close to the 0.4:0.6 limit for chemically stable glazes.

Tin is essential for the pink colour in chrome-tin pink glazes. In this glaze, the chromium is one of the impurities in the rutile. While rutile stabilises the glaze, this pink glaze is slightly less chemically stable owing to the addition of tin oxide.

To make this lava glaze @guldagergaard_claytopia we started with the flux materials, nepheline syenite and strontium carbonate, added coarse 120 mesh silicon carbide and titanium dioxide to make craters, then added kaolin along the top row and silica down the middle column.

Large amounts of kaolin caused crawling and large amounts of silica reduced the colour, copper oxide in the first image and I think it may have been rutile in the second. Titanium dioxide reacts with iron in the clay body to produce rutile.
