Loose lay sheet vinyl.
I agree. If she has a wheel in there, it will get clay between the cracks in VCT and a lot of water on the floor. My wife does pottery.
Yes. My wife has a pottery wheel as well which makes me think you could recommend some FRP on the walls cus that stuff can splatter.
I haven't seen it yet so I don't know if this is just for drying and cooking or if the whole operation is in this area. Wouldn't a coat of sealer and a few coats of wax fix the tile/cracks issue? VCT would be a lot tougher wouldn't it?
VCT is hard to beat but it does require regular maintenance. Waxing and stripping and such. When properly burnished it’s beautiful, impenetrable and can last virtually forever. Nothing is getting in the cracks. You can do some nifty designs too if so inclined…
Loose lay sheet vinyl is easier, less maintenance, and easy to replace when needed. Moving the kilns might not be so easy though…

I'm picturing two kilns, a potters wheel or two and tons of shelves setting on the perimeter. I'm thinking replacing sheet vinyl would be a nightmare some day.
Replacing anything would be a nightmare if there’s enough stuff in there.
How about a few coats of poly on the subfloor and be done with it.

How about red clay 
like the surface on a 
court 
like the surface on a court Welded pvc. Expensive, little maintenance and if done right, waterproof. If price is an issue, just some regular old sheet vinyl.
Roppe radial rubber tile is pretty tough stuff but expensive… Epoxy floors are nice too…
VCT is still my pick. Works in schools and supermarkets…Can’t kill it if properly installed. Cheap and tough... As we all know proper prep is everything.
