Hi Joyce,
In my opinion, Robin's book on Functional Pottery is one of the best, i
have recommended to so many people. You will really enjoy having that book
in your ceramic library.
Very best wishes on this Christmas morning, where there is just a dusting
of snow on the ground. Very strange this winter.. . .or should I say Santi
Clause how are the reindeer going to manage without any snow?
