Hello Susan,

I make "homemade grog" by running pieces of broken bisqued
stoneware pots through a hand-powered meat grinder,
then I sieve with different sized sieves according to my needs.
One interesting thing to do is to use grog made of light burning
clay in a dark burning clay, or the opposite.

Later,
