David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: Making Promises
http://davidwrightpottery.blogspot.com/2015/01/making-promises.html
David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Wednesday, 7 January 2015. Around the end of December the media is full of reviews about the moments that made 2014. As January kicks in attention in the newspapers turns to an obsession with New Year resolutions. The promise to eat sensibly, drink less and exercise more sounds more than revolutionary for some people, let alone changing what they make. I don't think that I've ever made any rash promises to change my life style just because a New Year has dawned. This ...

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: September 2014
http://davidwrightpottery.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Friday, 26 September 2014. It happens every year about this time. I am a mature student, ( well that's a good start, might be able to spell and string a sentence together without text speak). Hey dude like, r u cool 4 a few words like? It goes on. As part of my studies as an aspiring ceramics practitioner I am contacting other practitioners to gain insights they may feel they would like to share to help in my own work and new career. What led you to working with clay?

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: Propagate or Promulgate
http://davidwrightpottery.blogspot.com/2015/03/propagate-or-promulgate.html
David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Sunday, 15 March 2015. My daughter asked me once "Where do all the flowers go in winter"? I can't remember the exact answer, it was something along the lines of ; Flowers never go away completely, they are still slowly growing, but they are tiny, wrapped inside the plants and bulbs, saving themselves for the sun and the bees. It's the season for warm winter soups and stews, made better for being presented in a Mark Griffiths bowl, piping hot gravy from a Richard Batte...

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: The Toad in the Woods
http://davidwrightpottery.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-toad-in-woods.html
David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Tuesday, 9 June 2015. The Toad in the Woods. So, I joined a wood firing group. I didn't have much experience of wood firing at the time, just a weekend course building and firing a very simple kiln, watched a few videos, read everything I could lay my hands on. I liked the warm and varied surface on wood fired pots and had decided this is what I wanted for my work. A logistical nightmare and not without some petulance and letters of resignation. They ran out of wood n...

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: November 2014
http://davidwrightpottery.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Friday, 28 November 2014. Working in Bucolic Bliss. I gave up having a landline telephone in my workshop. A mobile phone gets no signal. If it's good, I'll ramp it up, cut a jig around my pot. Throw a few shapes as it were; Dad dancing in private bliss. Did you know you may be eligible for a government grant for insulation/new boiler/solar panels . no thanks, not old enough! It's difficult to ignore the ringing phone. If it's away in the house I can't hear it....Find ...

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: January 2014
http://davidwrightpottery.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Thursday, 16 January 2014. A Wet Arse and No Fish. Hard work and effort often go unrewarded. You spend time making what you believe is your best work, yet it remains on the shelf, no one has paid any attention and you move on. To put fire in the kiln, I need to put fire in the pants and get stuck in. A phalanx of beakers. I usually start with simple things like beakers, to get into the groove. Box bases follow and these are the platform for experimentation with sl...

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: December 2014

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Friday, 19 December 2014. A moment with Shoji. The nearest most of us get to a work by Hamada are glossy pictures in coffee table books or as close as you can press your nose against a glass display case in a museum. The temptation to open the box and have a peek at this precious work was just too much, gingerly unwrapping the biggest of the shards, (Should I have worn white cotton gloves)?

David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer: June 2014
http://davidwrightpottery.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
David Wright - Coiler and Woodfirer. Monday, 16 June 2014. When you go to Italy the Italians will tell you that Columbus was an Italian and came from Genoa. If you go to Portugal, they will say that he was Portuguese and there is a large monument in Lisbon to celebrate the fact. Go to Barcelona and there is a monument there also. Maybe he was Catalan too. Ask the English and they say you can find him on Google and shrug their shoulders. So stand an egg on it's end, he demanded. The Egg of Columbus was th...
