Contact us at: riddingspottery@hotmail.com NewsIn October 2005 twenty five 'Northern Potters' took over the OXO Tower Gallery on London's South Bank for what proved to be a very successful show. John was the 'top' seller among the exhibitors and enjoyed the experience but the time/costs/sales equation was still daunting. The NPA have been invited back for 2007 but he's opting out... tho' keen to hear of a good week-end fair/sales-point in London or to get the NPA into the South Bank Complex for a future show. Any suggestions from our readers in cyber-space? John will be showing/selling at Birmingham's Mac centre in Cannon Hill Park, Edgbaston on Sunday November 18th and Sunday December 9th (both from 11.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.) We've now posted 2007/2008 week-end course dates. - See COURSES.
We are now in a position to offer a week-long course. - See COURSES. As to his work, John likes to feel it's always developing. The elusive 'copper red' glaze is a bit more biddable now though firings are going ever higher: up to cone 10 in gas.
He found a gorgeous poster showing all 26 letters and all 10 basic numbers photographed on butterfly or moth wings where they've evolved by chance - in fabulous colour configurations. A lot of recent pieces have been attempts to create glaze patterns along these lines. That, and the Hubble space photos are 2 pretty substantial challenges! DO MAKE CONTACT.
