I've always loved pottery, having found this hobby in my late teens and spending two nights a week for two years, wedging, throwing and glazing my creations.
Even in winter, when the clay was wet and cold and the studio freezing, I went along and learned the art of shaping mounds of clay into useful objects. I used to take home crooked teapots, wonky cups and dodgy plates, but I loved it. I did eventually learn to throw cups that were completely round and plates that weren't buckled, but of course, today, wonky ware and organic shapes seem to be 'in fashion'...

So when I came across these lovely pieces, I had to share them with you...
