THE HANDMADE AND THE FUNCTIONAL

JUST OUT OF THE KILN,LARGE BOWLS FOR AN ORDER

FRESHLY CAST BEAKERS, RAMEKINS AND SMALL CUPS

'Pottery is at once the simplest and the most difficult of all the arts' - Herbert Read (1893–1968)

This comment was surely made in the aesthetic and philosophical sense..however this week I am feeling it in the technical mode...a number of portrait tiles came out cracked from the kiln..and of course, the square dishes too...

the discipline of ceramics surely is a life leveller!

And so it all goes on, the slip-casting, the throwing, the press-moulding. Forever optimistic..
