Yesterday I spent 2 hours putting a blog together that was a look back over 2015.
Then I sat and read it before pushing what I thought
was going to be the "Publish Button",
but once I read it I decided to push the "Delete button"!
Life is short, and there just isn't enough time to make all the pots I want to,
plain simple ones like this Pancheon give me the most pleasure.
A quick look back over some old pictures and I unearthed this one
taken in 2014.
I am so lucky to be on the same stage as these fantastic potters
they spur me on to be the best ambassador for pottery I can be,
a very proud moment in my pottery life.
The workshop in early June looked like it could have been in Greece.
apart from the fact that those are Apple trees not Olive.
My Demonstration at Art in Clay
proved to be a personal and business turning point,
I came away from the 3 day show on such a high.
Then of course was brought straight back down again!
But as ever my pottery friends gave me advice and
my non pottery friends gave me a beer.
So Thank you to all of my followers
have a great 2016
What Ever it throws at you.
Remember
if you see somebody without a smile
give them one of yours.

Thanks Paul. May you and Marion have a happy and prosperous new year. "simple" is not nearly as simple as it looks to the casual observer. With no decoration to draw the eye away from an imperfect curve or a single pinhole in the glaze things need to be darn close to perfect.
Thanks for a terrific year end overview. And I love that sign!
May you and Marion enjoy a happy, joy filled 2016!
Great post Paul. Keep making those wonderful pots.
Great advice! I always try to give freely of my smiles. :)
Have a fantastic 2016!
I am a potter and I follow you because your life, your craft, and your wit inspire me and bring a smile every time I see a new post. Thank you.
Happy new year Paul, your simple honest pottery is a joy to see in every post. I love your work, if I lived close by, I would have some serious issues with pottery hoarding :) it's been great to share your journey through our blogs
