My Love of Pottery
As an archaeological ceramic specialist I learned a lot of theory about technology, fabric and decoration, but I did not fully comprehend the skill required, until I took a turn at making pottery. I hope to continue to develop my skills.
Here are some pieces I adore, some from my collection, and a few made by me.
