HARRY DAVIS BOOKLET, WORKSHOP II

The second Harry Davis Workshop was organized by the B.C.
Guild of Potters to try to stimulate interest in the use of local
raw materials. Why use raw materials ? Michael Cardew
thinks it's a matter of pioneering, not so much doing some-
thing that has never been done before, but rather finding out
for yourself from first principles. He says, in the preface to
his book 'Pioneer Pottery', "It is simply the perennial instinct
to return to the source - a source not only of clays and glaze
materials but also of inspiration, the potter's invisible raw
material".
