I started tonight's travels looking for any recipe for "Hard Paste
Porcelain". I found just the one, because I got "waylaid" by the two
Stoke-on-Trent sites below. Visiting either one of them thoroughly might
take a week, unless you spend half the night, like I did... ;-D
Stoke-on-Trent Site
http://www.netcentral.co.uk/steveb/index.html
For the history of many of the potteries and the potters of Stoke on Trent
Includes Wedgewood - 22 photos of pottery-making there (including sprig
mould making)
Hard-paste Porcelain information and recipe
http://www.netcentral.co.uk/steveb/types/hardpaste.htm
Steve Birks mailto:steveb@netcentral.co.uk maintains this page
The Museum of the Potteries is another major web site:
http://www.stoke.gov.uk/museums/pmag/index.html
A good online show of pots if you surf around the site including an
extensive collection of Bernard Leach's work, not to mention: Henry Bergen,
Norah Braden, Michael Cardew, Elijah Comfort, George Cox, Ray Finch, Shoji
Hamada, Bernard Leach, Tsurunosuke Matsubayashi.
To get to these potters, click on "Museum Collections", click on "The Henry
Bergen Collection of Studio Pottery", click on "Potters" and click on any
pot. (The "Previous Page" button isn't functional, but you can use the
"Other works by this potter" link to get back.)
