I think a potter well worth looking out for is Sam Hall , Born in 1967 and now potting out of the Gaolyard Studios in St Ives , I am hoping to buy some of his work one day when I am rich , his style is everything I like in pottery and similar to some Robin Welch stuff.

a bit of Cy Twombly influence here Ed or is it Tapies?

You are right Paul, there is a kindred spirit in the Cy Twombly paintings

And maybe to a lesser extent Tapies
