Sherry, I can think of at least two Londons, an ocean apart, that are
home to clayarters. Which country are you thinking of?
best,
Ned

Apologies to all. I will be in London, England, for my short summer
sabbatical, May 30-June 11.
Looking for information, suggestions about schools/ceramics to visit,
galleries/ceramics that would be worthwhile to visit, ceramics studios
that might be open to the public.
It was my first posting to this website. Nervous, excited, all that.
Now, can't believe I'm actually hearing from people. So cool!

Dear Sherry;

The greatest collection of old British pottery used to be held in the
Guild Hall. Now, I understand that the collection has been moved to the
Museum of London. Harry Davis just loved these old tankards, pitchers,
plates, etc. for their honest answering of daily need. I found this
collection stunning.

Cheers, Hank in Eugene
