I think that Cindy's idea was great, it makes me wonder about the hours I
spent on the concrete with hammer in hand determined that I was going to
turn my bisqueware into grog. I got tired after two pots worth, about 1/2
cup worth of grog.
So green bone dry clay, ground to the consistency you want and perhaps roll
the pot into the material.
I crunch up green porcelain, wedge it into stoneware and throw it.
Tough on the hands, but beautiful inclusions bursting through the clay when
fired. Often the shrinkage of the stoneware and porcelain are not the
same...
Robust/rugged/knarly pots....
Perhaps not what you are after.
I hope to have an image sometime soon of the ideas/process.

stay tuned
We have a hammermill at school, and Soldner is always asking for the
homemade grog to use for his bonsai planters.
