POTTER OF THE WEEK: DONNA
Inspired by the pattern on her Granny’s Wedgwood, Donna’s striking red decoration won her this week’s accolade, with the judges proclaiming her brushwork ‘the best I’ve ever seen in the pottery’, ‘sublime’ and ‘exquisite’.
Saying goodbye: Andrew
Andrew’s ‘Friends, dogs and games’ sadly lacked cohesion in the theme, and he was the first potter to leave.
When did you start pottery?
I had a few Saturday morning lessons as a child, but I really started just before lockdown with a weekly lesson. I soon got my own wheel and began to really enjoy it.
Which piece of your work stands out, and are any memories attached to it?
The piece I’m most attached to is a garden gnome who guards the pot in the garden where the ashes of my dog, Scrumpy, are buried. I’ve made lots since and given them to friends, but this first one is still special.
Where do you do your pottery?
