There is also an excellent range of hand tools. I keep a good selection of clays with different properties (I can never resist trying a new clay!), but my favourites are undoubtedly David Wright Handbuiding, Ashraf Hanna and Lavafleck clays. I use paint on glazes, which I make myself or purchase from renowned glaze manufacturers such as Amaco and Spectrum. I find Shino glazes particularly appealing, especially used on stamped or worked clay, where the textured surface encourages the glaze to break into different hues. I also achieve wonderful, albeit capricious, effects from the skilful layering of glazes on flat clay surfaces. https://www.raintreepottery.co.uk/new-page daily 0.75 2021-11-24 https://www.raintreepottery.co.uk/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2025-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/7b0acd53-40c8-444a-89e9-6b27c02ec77c/tempImagegVg9Tb.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/1637693361771-YUJWWGKIV9MV9GQWAA4X/68039069-BD04-4F34-B511-D0E1416A1378.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/1637765741972-W4H27FLWJ9CFYGNLY8Z9/tempImagefIebyD.gif News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/1637765785583-BBQ25TVVC05YWIEJ6ZNM/tempImageSSpzdu.gif News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/1662823205161-65D470D6REUZRAHXCRMS/0CC436DA-C1A5-4E06-9F9E-09D12C278872.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/1656276746679-EEHX6JVUTDCPS0HJQH6V/489BE38D-F0CD-4C3E-A5DC-D265F4BD3D85_1_201_a.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/1642546850554-5EP2RNG0XLQ6Q0YC4MV3/272873C5-4714-478F-A1DA-BBCFBE6C5369.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/2187369f-ee05-4bf9-9bcf-a7f5f122fc82/tempImagef7lumz.jpg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/b2530193-9f59-4057-bb66-ff39167e2b9f/tempImageYEutrJ.jpg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/3b784dd0-9da6-45b7-8121-427368ea6125/D5D62F10-AEB9-4F5D-8C1A-F18BC82E0512.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/e6f26fd7-0195-403d-b679-e64f76688cbb/B6996363-E092-446C-ABDF-9862176B1354_1_201_a.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/9fc8dd56-32c7-4c52-a733-10fdb08b7ecb/A3E64769-2941-467D-96C1-D2A674115F8B_1_201_a.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/92dc6975-8f18-43d4-bd4b-01c758d7f75b/9AD1CB6F-24BE-4A9C-8179-423EF61F7CE6_1_201_a.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/59b7bcbc-be00-4dd1-b614-b10de2968dfc/DE1EE64E-44CF-452D-8E7C-4015F7267EBF.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/803bef0c-909f-4e9d-abed-edc01e5b1cb3/1B43E461-9D7B-4FC8-961D-A6862115DAF2_1_201_a.jpeg News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/d53c379c-ebc2-41e0-ad49-2d7e1e510006/AB6D0834-C1E4-487D-9393-536C9F73873B_1_201_a.jpeg News https://www.raintreepottery.co.uk/contact daily 0.75 2022-06-26 https://www.raintreepottery.co.uk/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2025-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618b0f9055deeb25d3c04ed9/1637192464121-KBYTE61CEHM3VENBYGXW/5915F498-157C-4141-B3CF-149D7E90E792.jpeg Gallery and Shop Handbuilt vase in grogged pink clay with Shino Hibiscus Gloss glaze.
