Dear Clayarters
I see there are two obituaries of prominent industrial potters
currently running in the Daily Telegraph (UK). For copyright reasons
I excerpt only the opening sentences below.
Those wishing to read more: if the URLs I pasted do not work, simply
go to the main page
www.telegraph.co.uk.
and find the Obituaries link, on the left in the list of sections.
Website registration (free) may be necessary.
best
