Andrew Walford

In particular, any one on clayart who is familiar with Hym Rabinowitz
and\or his studio in Eagle's Nest, Constantia, Capetown, please reply
e-mail to

A little while ago Doug Loveland wrote asking about information about a
list of South African potters he had read about in a book. I have a
friend from South Africa, a potter, currently living in New Hampshire,
who said he knew several of the potters on the list and had apprenticed
with Rabinowitz.

Doug, I have lost your e-mail address, so if you will e-mail me, I will
tell you how to get in touch with my friend.
