Bird Plate with Cobalt

Years ago I traveled to England and visited Seth Cardew's studio....this bird plate has such a Cardew influence...did you study there???  Love it!

michael cardew originated this bird.  i went to Seth's in 2002 and saw it everywhere.  was lucky enough to buy his sample at a workshop here.  had to have it glaze fired and it came out with a clear gloss glaze not at all like the originals.  have always loved the design, with the two birds, too.  good job!

Nancy;

I apprenticed with Michael Cardew in 1978/79. One year. Seth was there as well.

You caught me! I apprenticed with Michael Cardew in 1978/79. Once in a life-time experience. Had to come back to Canada though. I was broke and had been away for two tears.
