(sorry, I know nothing much really about the breeds of horses and ponies, but they do look magnificent out in the hills) <br /><br />I was interested by what you said in your previous post about designing "by making", and the problem with some ceramics associations who require design work on paper and words. That same nonsense seems to have its tentacles all through tertiary education here too with regard to craft subjects (sorry.. "technology"). Huge bias towards written project proposals, and the like, but not a lot to show for it. <br /><br />It seems to me a very natural, and healthy, thing for a potter to design by making, and for what is made to evolve over time..... and, ideally for those forms to be passed on and developed by others that follow. Think of the superb traditional pottery that was made by women in Africa for cooking and food storage! <br /><br />Our modern world is a very silly one!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.com
