In this week's video I'm testing eight new stoneware clay bodies from Potclays, (https://www.potclays.co.uk — the clay was gifted). I'll be throwing, trimming, glazing and reduction firing these in the search for a new body to use alongside the red-pink clay I normally make my pottery with. Let me know which you like best and perhaps more importantly, happy new year!
