Pinch Pots | Penelope Bennett
Royal Brompton Sydney St Cabinet
Author and potter Penelope Bennett finds that ‘Potting is so enjoyable it’s difficult to stop. Sometimes I sawdust-smoke the pots on my drawing room fire'.
All the pots are pinched and or coiled, then burnished and sometimes smoke-blackened. None of them are made using a wheel.
