I restock my online shop around 3/4 times a year, with about 300-400 pieces a time, if you'd like to receive a newsletter about when these go live you can sign up to my newsletter on my website, (https://www.floriangadsby.com/newsletter). I also leave the shop page online, even though it appears as sold out, it usually sells out in a few minutes time, just to give you an idea of what's available and the price range, (https://www.floriangadsby.com/shop).

Video Description
It's time for some new experiments I think, this time I'm testing out a new black stoneware clay, (PF 680) — https://valentineclays.co.uk/product/pf-680-smooth-black/ I'll be mixing it down with my usual high iron stoneware clay body, throwing some little tea caddies, and then trimming the finicky objects, which actually ended up being far more tricky than expected, who knew how troublesome a little grog could be... Sorry for not concluding the experiment in this film. These videos follow my week-to-week life in the studio and pottery is a slow craft, but rest assured the results will be posted once the vessels have been reduction fired!
