Hi John,
I'm not sure about contemporary markers, but there was an article in Ceramics Monthly in January 1980, entitled "Haydenville,a Town of Clay", which had remarkable photos, including clay chimney tops altered to use as grave markers, and a hand built, salt glazed grave marker with a sculpted angel, which was weathered and had part of its head missing.The article was by Deborah Edwards, a former assistant editor of Ceramics Monthly.
Hope this helps,
Patricia Dailey

body?

I'd like to read any thoughts on special clay bodies (or clay additives) that
will create freeze and thaw resistive pieces. I know adding grog to a clay
body will have some effect, but are there other thoughts on this subject as
well.
