| | | Made to Serve: Penny Simpson spent two years in Japan before attending the Dartington Pottery Training Workshop between 1979 and 1981. Since then she has continued to live in Devon, establishing her pottery in Moretonhampstead. In this four-page feature, Andy Christian applauds her new explorations with slip-decorated red earthenware that has food in mind. |
|
| Perryland: Grayson Perry may not consider himself a ceramist in the traditional craft sense of the word, more an artist who uses clay, but he has become, nonetheless, Britain's – probably the world's – most famous living potter. In this five-page feature, David Whiting brings the new Perry monograph, written by Jacky Klein, into focus. |
