Just back from the exhibition
at Ceramic Art London. There I was presenting afew of the new tea bowls and
tea caddies. It was great to show my work at London, where I met wonderful
people.
I met Gordon Crosby who is making wonderful work. Just look in the internet at Gallery Beson. |
|
| The new catalogue about the best tea works from 2007 just got published. I hope to make some new good work this year. Tea bowls are easy to make but very difficult to get a real good one. It just needs many years of doing it step by step. | |
