  1. All so attractive, but I especially like Hannah Tounsend's work. There is so much beautiful ceramic work around, I wonder how many of them make any kind of living at all given that even the most ardent collectors only buy a few from each maker.

    1. Tounsend's work is exciting indeed, Olga. I had not seen her work before. I am particularly fond of Margaret Curtis' work at the moment though - I just can't get enough of it: it has subtlety and depth and I treasure the pieces of hers that I own.

      You are right about ceramic work, particularly given how long, - weeks - before each piece is completed. I guess it's a labour of love: I know I used to love doing ceramics but unfortunately, I had to give it up - I still feel the sense of loss.
