I’m making mugs now. Something which I’m the first to admit I’m not very good at. My mind is filled with images like the one above in the hopes I can sort out what I’m doing.
I’m also playing with a different design. Less for the kids, more for the grown ups. We’ll see where it leads. Too much in the early infant steps to really have perspective on where it’ll lead. Lots of baby steps around these parts lately….

Adopt a Potter presented by Lisa Hammond
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.
