Testing New Stoneware Clays — From Thrown to Reduction Fired

In this week's video I'm testing a few samples of new stoneware clay. I ordered a few from Spencroft Ceramics, (this video isn't sponsored in any way, I just thought it would be an interesting topic), to try and find a clay body that I can use in conjunction with my usual, that reacts differently to the same feldspathic crackle glazes I reduction fire.
