As the end of the year approaches,students enter their traditional panic phase,while often producing their best work. Most of them are struggling gratifyingly with their teapots- a shape which,it turns out,may owe some of its origins to Middle Eastern water- and coffee-pots. The last picture is of our largest [trolley-hearth] electric kiln,back in action after nearly three years waiting to be fixed,here with a huge load of earthenware. Back in the studio,I have a bisc to unload,and one more to fill before embarking on my pre-Summer season [please God let us have one] firing binge.
