The work of other potters (alive or dead!) inspires many of the pieces we make in my classes.
Over the course of the year, I accumulate quite a collection of pottery photos. These are photos of whatever catches my eye – in a museum or shop window or on somebody’s kitchen shelf. They give me ideas for interesting forms, techniques and decoration to use in my courses.
Friends and students also send me pictures of pots or bowls they’ve seen on their travels. These are so helpful!
If you have some photos, please email them to me. I’d love to see them.
