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
  • My next book Emmanuel Cooper Glazes published by @herbert.press comes out on 14 January and is available for pre-order from @bloomsburypublishing or for worldwide delivery @blackwellbooks 

The book is the result of my three years of research into the private glaze archive of Emmanuel Cooper, potter, writer, activist and teacher who developed an electric kiln aesthetic with brightly coloured glazes and volcanic effects. He was inspired by Lucie Rie whose glaze notebooks I also researched and included in the book. They both fired in electric kilns to cone 8 and most of the recipes in the book are for 1250°C, but I have also included some low, mid and high-fired glazes. 

To coincide with the book launch there will be a touring exhibition of pots and glaze tests from @emmanuelcooperestate

  • 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.
