| In 1988
my husband and I and our 2-year-old son Anthony spent 6 months
living in Winchester, Hampshire, England. I worked in Robert Goldsmith’s
pottery three mornings a week.
The UK was a pot-lover’s delight: hand-made pottery is
everywhere, from the cafeteria at Avesbury to the Crafts Council
shop in the Victoria and Albert Museum; from fancy guild shops
to boxes by the side of the road. Using a list provided by The
Crafts Council, we spent most every weekend visiting different
parts of the UK and visiting as many potters as possible. We purchased
many items directly from the craftsperson, but several items that
caught our fancy are from potters unknown.
Pictured above are a few of our favorites.
