Saleroom thumbnails !
We have added a 'thumbnail' page to the Saleroom so that you can see all the items (without descriptions) on one page. You'll find the link at the bottom of the Saleroom page, beneath the page selectors.

At last — the book reviews have arrived !
It's a long time since we first promised them, but the book reviews have finally reached the Pottery Studio pages. Only a few to start off with, but you know how things grow around here.

Calendar !
As promised, the calendar is back and you will find it in its old position further down this page.

Face lift !
Don't be alarmed by the new look of The Pottery Studio site! We are not 'under new management' and most of what you are used to will remain the same. The most significant change (apart from the appearance) is a completely new mechanism to serve your pages. We have taken the opportunity to update some features that had lapsed, and there will be some small changes. The Top Ten page, for instance will now show the previous day's top ten, and it will be done automatically, without my banal comments. Hope you like the new look!

2006 Calendar !
A Happy new year to all of you! Our calendar has been temporarily withdrawn but will be back shortly with new pictures.

Copyright Piracy
In 2005 we had much trouble with outright theft of our copyright material. We welcome links to out site, but point out that if you link to us from a certain internet auction site, you will be taken to a general-purpose information page with links to all other areas.

To find out more about our copyright policy, go to the copyright page.

Saleroom
By popular demand in early 2005 we opened our long awaited - a selection of pots that you can buy and treasure as part of your collection. The prices are set at a reasonable level, and delivery costs are for an insured express service. Keep looking regularly as new pots are added quite often.

COMING SOON !
We will shortly introduce a new Book Review section. Some excellent books have been published recently, and ceramics books tend not to get much coverage in the press. We won't limit the reviews to new books, though, we fully intent to include all our old favourites.

Don't forget - if you buy a book from Amazon through a click from these pages we get a small commission that goes a little way towards financing the Pottery Studio. We don't care if you buy videos, CDs or gardening tools - every little helps!

POTTERY STUDIO CALENDAR
A small gift to last you the whole year through. Select a style and a month, and go!

NEW FEATURE!
WORKSHOP - Our new section for people who like to get their hands dirty. To start with we have the beginnings of our glaze library - contibutions welcome! - and the first page of our plans for making a kick wheel. Find it here or click the workshop link on the right.

Oh -- the gentleman who won the cigar for naming the new section had to send it back. His parents wouldn't let him smoke it.

NEW FEATURE!
Hey! - We are always hearing from you that you like to look at our pictures. Well, we have introduced a pin-up page so you can see them in in much better quality . The pictures will be changed every few days, so keep clicking. To see the pot's page, just click on the image.

GALLERY FEATURE !
You may notice a button at the bottom of the links on the potters' and potteries' pages. If an entry has two or more links, you can click on GALLERY to see a page containing all the pictures from the link pages. Where there are a lot of links these pages will be large - so be prepared to wait a little time for them to download.

FAKE WEMYSS PIGS
A number of phony Wemyss pigs are in circulation. They have been turning up at boot fairs, antiques and collectors' fairs and auctions in the south of England and probably further afield. They are not easy to spot from the real thing, and at least one top auction house was fooled until the last minute when a Wemyss expert spotted it.

They differ slightly in size from the genuine article, but we are not sure whether they are larger or smaller. If you see a Wemyss pig that seems to be a bargain at about forty to fifty pounds - it might not be!
