It is the 1st of March 2019, I have ordered my kiln and my wheel alongside a range of other equipment, tools, clay, glazes and oxides etc.
I will of course have forgotten some things, but I will discover what these are as the weeks go by and I look about me for some essential tool that my evening class tutor, Jo Dove, would have had secreted about her studio in Wiveliscombe, Somerset, UK – http://www.jodoveceramics.co.uk
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jo for her inspiration, patience and mentoring over the past 10 years, which have allowed me to take these first steps in setting up my own workspace here in Huelgoat, Brittany, France. http://www.mairie-huelgoat.fr/index.html
The space I have is generous for a potter looking to set up from scratch. We have a detached house with a sous-sol (basement) which is supplied with electricity, water and natural light.
