Last year while I was working in Auckland I had th Last year while I was working in Auckland I had the privilege of meeting @jack.tilson at the @woodfiredpotteryschool . He has established an amazing pottery community/school where everything was made from his land… self dug wild clay, ash glazes, handmade tools and a wood kiln that ran off sustainability sourced pine. I had a a beautiful time there, learnt a lot and would say if you want to experience clay and you live in NZ, you would be crazy not not to check out his classes. Here is a little teabowl that I made during my time there. It was was one of the first things that came out of the firings and became part of my morning ritual before work. I’m a bit sentimental about this one.
