About this event
The cylinder which preceded any expansion is conditioned by the nature of the materials and gravity. The shape which follows is determined by other requirements of use and beauty. In a good pot these elements are welded into a living whole, and it is illuminating to notice how the inter-play occurs.
The Potter’s Book. 1940. Bernard Leach
