Michael Collins

This Canadian potter is the person who makes dies for soap pump screw
tops.
You can e-mail him from his web page, but the picture is still not
up.
He has a catalogue you can send for, with the picture of the die and
other tools he makes.
He's also a fine potter, and you -can- see some of his work on his
page.

To a major degree, I think these studio potters meet this aspiration:
"We strive to make the best work possible. We are concerned that our
work always show the touch of the artist, the mark of the potter, so
to speak. It is important that we maintain personality within our
work. We hope that you feel somewhat connected to us when you use our
pots."
