Some results from a weekend with @clivebowenceramics at everyone's favourite ceramics school, @claycollege proves there is still much to learn in my quest for perfect pottery 🐾 Stoke-on-Trent is the historic home of English ceramics, but as my fellow class-mates showed, there is talent all over the UK, especially in Devon, London, Kent(!)... yes, literally all over Britain creative original pottery is being made in small workshops and homes 🐾 My trip to Stoke yielded unexpected benefits (that's what happens when you actually manage to leave the house!). My visit to the @moorcroftpottery with its collection of work by founder William Moorcroft (rather different to its modern style) and discussions with expert @markdallyceramics tied in beautifully with the weekend's course 🐾 Mark Dally not only creates exhibition quality work, he also sells ultimate slip trailers that I believe are just what I need to add another dimension to my decorated, commissioned work. It was actually Clay College's creative director, @kgmillwardceramics who originally put me onto Mark's work. High hopes for a breakthrough! 🐾 . . . . . #custompottery #potteryforall #we_love_pottery #ceramicart #modernceramics #instaceramics #functionalceramics #wheelthrownpottery #ceramics #studiopottery #contemporaryceramics #lifeofapotter #wheelthrown #potsinaction #sgraffito #pottersofinstagram #sliptrailing #earthenware #wip #workinprogress #slabbuilding (at Kemsing, Kent) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7iqjQfgZlc/?igshid=tx00zntcvi25
