London- RCA, 2012, Ceramic Arts.

Last friday I managed to get to the London Ceramic Arts fayre at the Royal College.

I chatted to a lot of potters, the display of hand thrown work was heart warming.

Colour was the big attraction for me. Moving away from Edmund De Waal's white,

white forms. I had a discussion with the Potter Barry Stedman, a former student

of the the RCA. He sees himself firstly as a painter , then a potter. His pots have a

riot of colour and he paints all of his images first.

The London I saw was very different from the bombed South Bank site of the Festival

of Britain as shown in this image. The Festival site saw an import of cash that has made the

South Bank what it is today.
