Adopt a Potter has a simple aim: to help in securing the future of studio potters.
Founded in 2009, the original idea for the Trust came from an
experienced potter – Lisa Hammond – who has a tradition of taking
apprentices at her studio in London. Some of these apprentices have
become well recognised potters in their own right.
It takes years to train a studio potter. Unfortunately, many art
colleges are finding it difficult to offer throwing in any meaningful
way, so it is more important than ever for a student wishing to make
functional and studio pots to have the opportunity of an apprenticeship
with an experienced professional potter.

Today’s eye candy is a sad one as I’ve just received word that Janet Mansfield has passed away. A kind and generous spirit that I was blessed enough to meet in my travels. Her impact on our community will be long felt and her stunning artwork will inspire for generations to come.
