96. 5 Surprising Sources of Inspiration for Pottery

Being inspired in pottery can happen anywhere, at any time! In this episode, I talk about 5 surprising sources of inspiration for making pottery that I’ve experienced as a Potter: 💡 - Archaeology books - depicting the shapes and surface decoration of ancient pottery.💡 - Books for collectors of pottery -  (or glass!) about a specific pottery industry. 💡 - Food packaging - which often has beautifully designed and functional shapes. 💡 - Cookware - such as casserole dishes, saucepans and enamel pie dishes. 💡 - Charity shops - often have beautiful pieces of pottery from many different eras that can be picked up cheaply for inspiration. Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube———————————————-✨Support the PodcastResources for Potters:⭐ Pottery Paperback Books available from AmazonFree Pottery Guides:🆓 Download the Free How to Make a Pottery Glaze Workbook (suitable for beginners):🆓 Download the Free How to programme an Electric Kiln for bisque and stoneware glaze firings (includes full kiln firing schedule)------------------------------------
