5 Surprising Sources of Inspiration for Pottery
Episode 96
Being inspired in pottery can happen anywhere, at any time!
In this episode, I talk about 5 surprising sources of inspiration for making pottery that I’ve experienced as a Potter:
💡 - Archaeology books - depicting the shapes and surface decoration of ancient pottery.
💡 - Books for collectors of pottery - (or glass!) about a specific pottery industry.
💡 - Food packaging - which often has beautifully designed and functional shapes.
💡 - Cookware - such as casserole dishes, saucepans and enamel pie dishes.
💡 - Charity shops - often have beautiful pieces of pottery from many different eras that can be picked up cheaply for inspiration.
