I just love Han's work. I just missed out as I was a student in ceramics at the RCA in the late 80's , we used to go over the Lucy's mews house once a years for tea. i used to go to the V & A almost every day to look at one pot, a H C "bum" pot and loved it so much

How wonderful. I met Lucie at her mews studio. Utter simplicity.

Hans has done very well considering Heber only taught him for 1 year he has done very well. Go Hans

I would love to see some of Copers pots in life!

[@richiejohnson]

they're tiny. You'd think they were monumental

@@richiejohnson interesting isn't it?

[@richiejohnson]

@@edstud1 yep, I love the severity of them

[@edstud1]

@@richiejohnson have you tried replicating any of them?

[@richiejohnson]

@edstud1 Not directly. When I was younger, I had something of a reputation as a potter. He was inspirational.
