While looking through the catalog (for the collection at SAMA that Roy loaned me) I found interesting differences and likenesses. I'm probably not a keen observer and this little exercise has really been an eye opener.
The book led to a serious web search of 'amphora' and turned up some wonderful pieces.
I can see now how I would like to make my next 'amphora'--with some subtle but significant changes. I don't want to copy the examples I've found but I think I will see mine differently as I am making it.
The education of Gay, the potter-in-the-making!

Hi Gay, I too have been looking at older pottery and trying to learn more about shapes and styles, it is all so interesting to me. trying to be more cognizant of what the finished piece will look like and also function like. What fun.
