One of the pages i did find was this one
This explains the methods of granular materials and how interesting pots are made.It also gives a very detailed step by step process.
I really find this idea of texture interesting.In my head i mage it to be like a cinnamon swirl roll (rather delicous)and the mixture of blue gravel and grey looks nice as well.
I feel as if this will help me figure out different textures for my ideas and help me expand on my disgusting pot plans.

A artist who uses this similar style(being lumpy and gravely by choice)is;
Ewan Henderson who has made these pieces;



His sculpture look appears to be rotted and old when looked upon and uses not dull(but toned down colours)Some pieces have a few bits of blue added that really contrasts.His artwork is known to fall apart(planned of course)this is made possible by adding soap inside theft,so over time,it drops off naturally.
The reviews of his work are as followed:
He worked on a variety of vessels, building them up in layers, using clay bodies into which bone china or porcelain might be laminated. The addition of stains and oxides - on tall pots as well as small tea bowls - created rich colour; when used to excess, these pigments became rough and blistered. The result was almost volcanic, redolent of the firing process and Earth's own geology. By building in texture and palette simultaneously, body and colour became one.*Taken from this link who gives more information on his life and work:
