HAND EYE FOOT BRAIN. Applied art. I thought, I saw, I went, I made. COBALT BLUE: LETTER TO AN ADMIRER. I got an e-mail in response to my post Not Quite Monochrome,. Asking me how to use cobalt oxide in the decoration of porcelain. As the question came from someone who declared me "the best ceramist in the world", I took some trouble over the reply. Here's an edited version of what I said. Lead bisilicate frit (permitted in the UK but not the USA): 56%. I hope that helps, and good luck in your work! Click...

HAND EYE FOOT BRAIN. Applied art. I thought, I saw, I went, I made. Every museum and art gallery has dozens of pieces of work in store, and some have most of their collection tucked away, but curators are always pleased to bring them out for anyone seriously interested. Last week I went with the Craft Potters Association. To Buckinghamshire County Council's store of studio pottery in Halton, where Mel Czapski, the collections officer for art and ceramics, introduced us to their collection.

HAND EYE FOOT BRAIN. Applied art. I thought, I saw, I went, I made. WHO WAS DORA BILLINGTON? But who was she? The first clue I got was from a niece, who asked me “Do you know about her friend? Dora’s colleague and friend, whom everyone called HG. There’s a fourth person, the one who took the snap; I’ll come to him in a minute. On the first page of a commonplace book Dora wrote out Shakespeare’s Sonnet 30, which clearly expresses her feelings about Catherine’s death:. The sad account of fore-bemoanèd moan,.

HAND EYE FOOT BRAIN. Applied art. I thought, I saw, I went, I made. CERAMIC EDUCATION IN BRITAIN. I've written before about the closure of the Harrow ceramics course. The BA Ceramics at the University of Westminster.

There were too many ceramics courses and it was impossible to fill the places. They're expensive, and i...

HAND EYE FOOT BRAIN. Applied art. I thought, I saw, I went, I made. PS TO CERAMIC EDUCATION IN BRITAIN. In my last post. Most must have learned informally outside art schools. The quality of their work was variable; some were very good, many were mediocre and some were no good at all; but in terms of numbers, the training of potters clearly does not depend entirely on art schools.
