No, I'm not a potter and part of the fun of mudlarking has been the detective work afterwards. I knew nothing about pottery before I started and when I decide to write something about a find or set of finds, I just google for a few hours (often more than a few)and write up the 'research'. I started working part time in Feb 2012 and this has enabled me to find the time to do all this - although the plan was photography!

You don't give much away in your 'profile' female, London, Julia but as a potter with a huge interest in the history of ceramics I'd love to know how you know what you know. Are you a potter too? Have you read the same kind of stuff as I have? Your banner photo is a thrill of colour and history. I used to live in London but rarely got near the real Thames except to cross the Westminster or Battersea bridges on the way to work. A friend is currently experimenting with piping (slip trailing) feathery patterns on her work - but hers is to emulate Russian motifs from her homeland - and this in an Australian college!! I must show her your blog and those images in today's post. Thank you Julia. I really enjoy finding your posts in my inbox!Elaine Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667124924491780090noreply@blogger.com
