While I'm giving my still-tender back a break from the studio, I won't be posting new work of mine for a few days. So... I'm launching the "Famous Potter Challenge," with treasures from my little collection.
Check it out and see if you can identify the maker...
FAMOUS POTTER CHALLENGE #1
Among my treasures is a set of canisters made by this incredible potter/artist... Can you guess? (Hint: I should disqualify my North Carolina pottery pals from this one.)

Suze Lindsay?
love her work! we were lucky enough to have her work here in our gallery a few years back.
nice to hear from you over on my blog. now that i've discovered yours it's time to get past the first post and delve into the rest of it!
best,
keith
Couldn't guess the maker, but they are some beautiful pots!
I dunno, but I wonder how you can make cute handles like those????
Cinderelish, you were sure quick with the answer!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I checked out yours and your Etsy site. I love the casual, fun look of your pieces and the greens and purples... and the blues and yellows (like on the "Sweet Little Tumblers")... very fun.
Hi Keith! How cool to have Suze's work in your gallery. I took a workshop from her at Arrowmont. It was team-taught with Peter Beasecker. Such an incredible learning experience and so much fun. Thanks for visiting my blog!
We Virginia potters should also refrain from guesses...Suze is a wonderfully inventive potter and you were fortunate to take her workshop!
Thanks for all your kind words on my blog...it's good to know someone's watching. Have you tried throwing standing up? John Glick has written a lot about protecting your body while making pots.
Hi Dan! Yes, I throw standing up when in Cambria. Actually, I use a sit/stand high stool and it works great. No back pain or leg fatigue. I have a mirror in front of me and am trying to train myself to use it instead of craning around the side of pieces as I throw or trim.
However... I still sit at my Bakersfield studio - and this bout began after a long day sitting and trimming, scrunched over at an angle watching ribbons of clay spin off.
Ya know, I could feel the tension build as I was working and I didn't want to stop. Folly!... When will I ever learn?... Well, actually, I feel like I've learned it now.
Off to do a relaxation mediation for the next 42.5 minutes.
