Here at Farmridge we use the best stoneware clay available. Some of it I mix myself (a modified classic recipe of Jeff Zamek's) and I also use some Standard Ceramics Baldwin #192 and a brown clay body #378. All the pottery is food safe and microwave and dishwasher safe. I fire in oxidation between cone 7 and 10 and the ware is fully vitrified after firing. Almost all of the pots I throw can be used in an oven, and in the case of the casseroles, they work great. Some people use my sugar bowls as garlic roasters and they do excellent in the oven. From a style standpoint, I don't like to get too fussy with a pot and the most beautiful pieces are the ones with their own life and character. I do a lot of glaze testing and each piece is unique. So my work is kind of all over the board
