“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try”
Publications
I have developed a series of hand-drawn handouts all about lids. The inspiration for this style of relaying information came from two of my favorite resources when I was a student in the mid-late 90’s: Val Cushing’s Handbook and the Japanese Pottery Handbook. I have the now 36 pages (including cover and Table of Contents shown here) available for purchase in my online shop. If you’d like to buy a digital download, click on the button below. Here is a sampling of the handouts. Thanks for looking!
