For the past few weeks, I have been wrestling with writing a poem. It is one of the longest so far. Perhaps next week it will finally be ready to share.
I recently came across these pictures of a young me, mid ‘80s at night school in Birmingham. I was fortunate to be able to go back to study with the person who inspired me to pot at secondary school, Lyn Chatwin.

Part of the base blew off in the biscuit firing of this Medusa inspired coiled creation. I did not risk a second glaze firing, opting to spray paint it instead.
Such posts from your youth are very interesting, please continue.
Thank you, I will do so 😎
What an amazing piece of art!
Thank you, Cindy
Wow ! That’s impressive. And love the photo of young you.
Thank you, Eileen 😎
Remember both works of art…the Medusa and you. X
Oh, Pam ❤️
I too enjoy your ‘blasts for the pasts” posts.
Thank you.
WOW! You are an AMAZING artist, to be sure! I hope you still have Medusa. It’s too bad the base was blown, but she still looks incredible! ❤️
Thank you, Rachel, sadly Medusa is only a photographic record now.
Look at you!!!!! That is also a beautiful piece Robert.
Thank you, Eunice.
