The potter
- Kitty Shepherd
- In the end I make pots. I live some of the time in a rural village just 28k south of the city of Granada where my studio is and if you read this blog you will soon discover that I spend a great deal of time in England too, where my work sells. I am obsessed by my medium; I work along personal lines of creativity where it is usually the mistakes which turn out to be the best pieces. I am exceptionally slow at thinking and I am prone to be influenced by everything and everyone around me.I don’t own any of my own work except “My Little Pony”; a vase that didn’t sell in 2007 {archive pot no 1 below} and which later became too difficult to part with.

LOVE these! Do I detect a subtle Moorish influence? All the better, for I have a couple of pieces with this type of in-lay. In an excavation site in Jerico, Israel, is the earliest known in-lay found. This is also where Versace got the logo for his wares, most popular on sunglasses, as the logo was used around bird designs, etc.
Your birds have such great 'attitudes!'
Beautiful beautiful plates, your black&white drawings are masterpieces!!
I wonder why your black slip looks dark grey in it raw stage, while mine looks just black...
Thanks Gals. Getting packed up here for the big push to England.
estoy encantada con la frescura y belleza de tus ceramicas, es un placer visitarte Kitty!!!!

Absolutely beautiful work.
I’ve enjoyed looking over your blog. I came across it through another blog I follow, and I’m glad I did. I am now a follower of yours as well. Feel free to look over my blog and perhaps become one as well.
Kitty, when you get a chance, I have an award for you at my blog!
Wow I love these birds - it's like inverted Elizabthan blackstitch. Lovely mummy... really unusual and very striking.
