I'm still not back into my studio - hope to get there later this week.
This does mean I have been enjoying some pottery books though. The first from our local library is by Simon Leach of the famous pottery family..
His book "Simon Leach's Pottery Handbook" includes two CD's full of video clips on all the basic techniques from throwing lids to making teapots or fluting vessels. Its available on Amazon.
I purchased this one from Amazon with a gift voucher from my son:
I've admired Jane Perryman's work for a long time and in this book she introduces other potters who also work without glaze.
I'm thinking some of these techniques will suit my pig sculptures.
I have an appointment with the gallery in the city, Limelight, to take some more of my work this week.
Here is a sneak peek:
See you over on Sunday Ceramics..
