Several friends have been travelling lately and it has reminded me of some of my own trips and the lovely pieces of ceramic that I have brought home with me.
My most precious piece is by Robin Hopper and purchased from his own workshop gallery in Canada.

Since then I have collected a number of interesting pieces along the way, some on travels and some while on a day out. All have special memories.

Aplogies for the poor quality images - realised later that my camera battery was low.
Anyway, a busy week coming up where I will have the pleasure to meet Greg Daly as he judges the Port Hacking Potters 47th National Competition.
See you over at
Mud Colony or on Facebook :^)

How wonderful to see your collection, that must have been something to see Robin Hopper, his studio and his gardens.
Hi Linda it was an amazing highlight of a great trip, we did the Inside Passage, the train over the Rockies and on Victoria Island hired a sports car for the day and it was sunny so we had the top down :^) Very special all round! Robin was very friendly but working so we didn't chat for long.
