Members and friends welcome.

The demonstration by Gordon Cooke promises to be something of a departure from recent more functional thrown wares into a world of sculpture inspired by the study of plant forms. This an extract from Gordon's website to give you a flavour:

"As a potter, teacher and designer for thirty years, my ideas for pots are based on images from travel and the immediate environment of my garden. The study of plants and observations of their growth and habit; the actual leaf or stem and more general observations of decay and change of the seasons give ideas for pots and sculpture. My aim is to make pots and sculptures which have the same complete 'rightness' that is found in plants."

Directions

Mundford is at the junction of the A134 and A1065, north of Thetford.
If someone remembers, there will be Anglian Potters signs to direct you to the village hall, however the hall is visible from the main road, surrounded by sports fields. Turn into the village from the A134/A1065 junction roundabout and then take the first right.

See Multimap, the village hall is under the letter 'P'.
