SPRING SHOW AT THE LEACH POTTERY: ‘COLOUR & MOVEMENT’ • If you have a news story, product launch or details of some other topical item you’d like our readers to know about, email claycraft.ed@kelsey.co.uk

COUNTRY-STYLE JUG • This jug is thrown to create a traditional country-style shape but decorated in a more contemporary style

LINDA BLOOMFIELD • TROUBLE WITH GLAZE MATERIALS

RIBBED AND LIDDED PINCH POT • As the look of this little pot suggests, inspiration for its form was derived from seed pods. Its extending ribs make an unusual but surprisingly secure gallery for the lid and add visual interest to the form

MOTHER AND CHILD RELIEF WALL PANEL • This highly stylised panel is a quick and easy project that can be completed in a short amount of time using minimum equipment and materials

THE GREAT POTTERY THROW DOWN • A recap of the first four episodes, and we hear from the potters who went home

Masters of all we survey • Surveying our members is a surprisingly nerve-wracking thing to do, but promises must be kept

Putney School of Art and Design: The Heart of Art in Wandsworth

SLABBED CAT VASE • If you love cats, this is a perfect project, and if you own one, why not immortalise it by using its colouring or markings as inspiration for the surface decoration?

An eggs-cellent idea (sorry!) • You may recall the DIY wedging table we featured a couple of years ago when Julian Williams wrote in. Well, he’s been in touch again, and we think you’ll like this one too. Over to you, Julian!
