Clayart and Visiting Israeli Potter

I have been participating on an Internet newsgroup of potters from around the world, called Clayart -- for those of you who are or would-be potters out there, come visit.  This is a really great group of people and the information shared on this newsgroup is priceless. 

Hanna Peled

In 2001, I saw a message on Clayart from an Israeli potter whose husband was taking a two-week class at Georgia Tech.  She was looking for a studio to make pots (I could totally undersand that!  It's what I would want to do on vacation.)  So, I sent her an e-mail inviting her to use my studio while they were in town.  I learned that Hanna has been a potter and a teacher of pottery for 20+ years.  She generously shared her knowledge and experience with me.  Hanna and Gabi's visit is something I will treasure for a long time.

Here are some pictures I'd like to share of Hanna's visit and her work.  At the bottom of the page is a link to Hanna's website.  One final note, Hanna's speciality is glaze formulation and she shared a few of her recipes with me.  I tried out her Ivory base glaze with sapphire glaze and copper oxide wash on top and totally loved the results (see samples of the cups at the bottom Oxidation section).
