Inside Potclays

Piles of clay slabs awaiting processing through the pug mill.  The lower picture is not the usual pan mill but an adapted coffee roaster, which does a much better job of blending clay.  Their kiln building department was producing large and small kilns to customers orders and the firm was helping subsidise a "Kilns in Schools" programme, something we need in New Zealand, as teaching clay work in schools has been neglected for a long time.
