I have been enjoying the posts on small studios. It made me think I ought
to bring up small pots. My wife makes little pots on the wheel that are
about an inch tall and sometimes smaller. The thing I like about them is
that their form is still in scale with larger pots. Sometimes it can take
me an hour to load a small kiln because I have 500 of this little guys to
find spots for.
There was an article in CM with the most fantastic small pots (On cover
too) that we had ever seen. The decoration was really detailed. You got the
feeling that if the pots were in a picture without something to show the
relative scale that you would not really know how big it was. So often when
someone is working really big you can tell it was "muscled" and looks like
the artist was at his physical limit. Our little pots just look like
"mini-versions" of our standard size ones.
BTW the "tiny potter" has just informed me to point out that she also makes
items that are 3 to 4 pounds in size.
Well, gotta go unload and reload. Looks like it is "GlazeDay".

Hi,
Gosh, I can't remember the name of the woman who makes those
*tremendous* "Feelies," little matte glazed bottles, about 2-3" high.
All I can think of is Rose. Help me out here, gang! Boy were those nice
pots!

I just happened to be rereading my old Cm's and have the one in
question on the top of the pile- it is from May of 1994 and the artist is
Andrea Fabrega.Her pots are awesome.She has a picture of a fully formed and
glazed teapot sitting on top of a thimble!She even lists her glaze recipes
and a picture of her studio. If you can't find the issue I will forward a
copy of the article.

I think the name might be Rose Cabot and I think there was an article
about her some years ago in CM. (I think)
