Some recent work in progress

Over this and the last week I worked on a small plate (my first) and a small pot. Both are now trimmed. Please find some photographs of them drying out.

Here are some great pottery resources that have inspired & helped me....

1) http://www.youtube.com/ The best resource there is!!! It has some great potters posting regular videos of them at work, some of my favourite ones are:

sleachpots - Simon Leach, from the Bernard Leach family, some 400+ videos one of the best on youtube.
