Thanks for commenting. This artisan was so quick he finished before we knew it.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

I love the angle you've used for this - the potter's attention to his work is almost palpable.

[John Falconer]

@dulciknit
Thank you Alison. He was very good as a photo subject!!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Love the concentration and skill. I can watch potters for a long time. It's fascinating to see the shapes emerge merely by pulling up the clay on the sides. fav

[Jo Worboys]

And with great concentration

[John Falconer]

@olivetreeann @365projectorgjoworboys
Thank you! Potters are certainly photogenic and they stay still in one spot!
