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).

This week, I'm trying to scale up my new favourite shape, a tall stoneware bowl made with a pedestal-like foot and curvaceous walls. It's potted thickly as the plan is to trim the shapes back to be more angular once leather hard, this way, the vessels have both curved walls and an angular exterior—the bests of both worlds.
