Please....

Just a couple of questions, well, maybe more........

Can you recommend a good supplier within the uk?

I want to do small scale tiles and beads can you recommend the best clay to work with.

Glazes....Which would be the best glazes to use on the type of clay you recommend?

Thankyou in advance just in case you do help me out, I have done extensive research already, so this isn't a cant be bothered scenario, its an I'm bamboozled scenario!!!

For clay I like white stoneware for most things, quite reliable and forgiving.

I have used Potterycrafts and Potclays for a long time, but have had this company recommended,

I have been using their underglazes for a while, which I like and are great for what I do, and just got a selection of their stoneware glazes which look gorgeous, and also onglazes, which I have used on tiles and the like before. Their delivery was really quick and efficient as well.
