I wonder if Hamada was under pressure to have "Made in Japan" stamped on the bottom of his tea bowls!! Seriously though, your stamp probably will add to your sales, and that is a good thing. The reality is that a lot of people do seem to buy things to remind them of a place that they have visited. I love your comment as to "Why I do Slipware". One thing that has attracted me to pottery, after a background in painting are values such as simplicity, honesty, humanity, and craftsmanship. It is nice to make a mug that someone will drink out of, or a tile for a floor that will take a person's weight.

That's all well and good in a Gallery environment. But I like to make stuff that speaks for it's self, pots that hit you with their simplicity.Paul Jessophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049186132665105757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070171807625943329.post-7893057457125668482009-03-25T11:24:00.000+00:002009-03-25T11:24:00.000+00:00Hey Paul,Swanky stamp.

It'd be good to hear why you do slipware too, we know Ron's story.I'm going to ask Margaret too I think. Interesting to hear the tales behind it all.<BR/>hHannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01268429507947559935noreply@blogger.com
