I don't just do pots!' then sweep grandly off!<br /><br />I usually ask if the potter/artist has a website so I can see for myself what sort of work they do. It always amazes me, being a writer what potters can do. Everybody writes... even if not everybody writes well, so writing is largely common or garden (or indoors in the warm in my case!). But potters have this gift of making fabulous things come out of the clay... and just when you're gasping in amazement... they go and glaze them as well!!! More wonderment! <br /><br />The gannets remind me of Jeremy James' crows a bit. I love his stuff, especially his hares.Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863034333159354009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-51638173298786390782010-09-10T06:32:35.167-07:002010-09-10T06:32:35.167-07:00I love the idea of 'feeling oddly superior whe...I love the idea of 'feeling oddly superior when we are lost for words", thank you Peter, I will remember that one.<br /><br />Oh, and well spotted, Zoe...Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941407276963445940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-88834574490603643922010-09-10T03:08:19.899-07:002010-09-10T03:08:19.899-07:00The coracles are fabulous - they look so sturdy an...The coracles are fabulous - they look so sturdy and wholesome, somehow, and are at the same time amusing - they bring a smile to one's face!potterjotterhttp://potterjotter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-35615701098767949842010-09-10T01:22:42.633-07:002010-09-10T01:22:42.633-07:00I absolutely love the man in the boat with the tel...I absolutely love the man in the boat with the telescope and Gannet.

When someone a...Laura and I have the same problem. When someone asks either of us what we do we quickly become incoherent! It is not that we have nothing to say,... but it is rather that we have the opposite affliction! We had a parallel situation recently when someone asked us if we did much reading. Laura reads all the time..., it is quite rare to find her without a book perched somewhere about her person. I have been known to read a bit too... and more than just "a bit", but when we were asked, our minds turned to watery mush and we felt stupid... particularly as the person that asked us went on to talk about the Russian novels that he reads! Maybe we should feel oddly superior when we are lost for words... and suspicious of people who can sum up their work in neat, well rehearsed sentences!<br />Our pottery or painting is an expression of who we are.., I personally like someone with a bit of depth and complexity! Anyway, as usual I warble on far too long, but I also want to add how "yummy" those boats are that you have made, complete with their gannets and sailors! "yummy".., of course, is completely inadequate as a description so I will conclude with a happy face :)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983075382492557006.post-40232129963463333962010-09-09T17:37:37.474-07:002010-09-09T17:37:37.474-07:00that is always the challenge... i usually start wi...that is always the challenge... i usually start with not your usual suspects! it usually confounds peeps...Hope your workshop goes well...blow em away with your extrusions they're amazing christine!! :))ang designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818952156682990100noreply@blogger.com
