About the book >.>.> On hearing that it was the Isaac Button film he asked why on earth they wanted him to talk to the students ‘when they had been watching a real potter’. I think that most potters believe that no matter what kind of pots they themselves make their roots belong with the country potters who made simple functional pots for everyday life. Our age is rightly concerned with archives with the preservation of material about the past collected if at all possible from the last practitioners of their skills and disciplines. Andrew McGarva’s generation is the last to have seen the remnants of this pottery tradition (as well incidentally the last to know the pioneers of the modern movement Bernard Leach and Michael Cardew). Andrew’s life- long interest in vernacular styles extends to all forms from rural architecture to functional blown glass from weaving to traditional furniture. (SP)
