This website was first created to share information on paper clay, as it was not widely available.  This was before textbooks and when there were only a few scattered journal articles.  It grew into the documentation of art projects and listing of upcoming learning opportunities.   It is a symbolic “thank you” to the many thousands who participated in events I led, who shared so generously their techniques and personal stories.  This enriched both myself and ultimately my future students.  Ultimately it is a gift to the next generation of potters, artists and art students.  I hope it inspires you, informs you and provides an example of the sort of creative journey you have or are about to begin. Enjoy your travels!  Cheers! Graham
