Whatevs! That's fantastic!
My spot is kinda generic, more old ignorant littering than history. That stuff looks old old.

I’ve been asking all the older people who have been living here for decades whether they know why there’s so much broken ceramics down there, but the best I’ve learnt is that there used to be an old brickworks there 100 years back or something? My best guest is that there was a pottery there too? But no one knows about it!
Very odd.. Maybe just littering

UPDATE:
Here’s my piece I made in the end. I’m still finishing a vessel with a more mosaicy feel to it.
In the end I just had a go at it, but shrinkage has now happened on both pots pictured,, however, seen as this was just exploratory work for an art college project it’s okay!
Thank you again for everyone’s advice!

Thank you so much for all your responses! I’m going to do a test and hopefully it will work!

Hello,
Ive been collecting broken old ceramic pieces from a local stream and I wanted to incorporate these into new vessels. I wanted to do an almost mosaic effect but pressed into the walls of the vessel. However I know that shrinkage will be a big issue? I’m using an earthenware grog . Any tips on joining old ceramics pieces to fresh clay?? I’m very new to ceramics so know very little - as is evident. Many thanks for any advice!

Sorry- I haven’t had the chance to fire anything yet— I don’t have access to a kiln until lockdown ends here in the UK
I do not have high hopes that they’ll survive but I’ll give it a go when I’m back at college.
