Mudbunnies,

Has anybody ever been to a throwing workshop with John Colbeck? What was
your experience of it. I know he wrote one of most referred to books on
throwing (still don't have it) but have never heard about workshops.

Thanks in advance

Russel

Grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
The good fortune to run into the ones I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference.

I don't think John has ever done a "public" throwing workshop, he is
much too self effacing for that. He was for many years the guiding light
of the Ceramics Dept. at Bath Spa University College, and I believe
still does the odd throwing module there. He is the best Teacher/tutor I
have ever met, and his devotion to his Students is legendary.
