since august and mrs east describes it as quite busy we get a lot of people here on the weekends especially she said mrs east who has been making pottery since she was 16 moved to unionville in may most of the work on display is her own although some has been done by her young apprentice david baker she denies having any particular style of work i like to do both functional and sculptural pieces she said there is a strong theme of growing things in much of eva easts works flowers buds and so on recur in various pieces i like to see people and meet people she said thats one of the troubles with being a potter you tend to shut yourself away and work without anybody around the work done by mrs east is called stoneware it is fired in a kiln at very high temperatures only porcelain requires

style and functionalism in almost all her pottery above david baker is learning the art of pottery from eva east he is shown at the potters wheel throwing a piece mark niblett more heat the result is a smooth hard finish it is difficult to draw a line between unc- tional and sculptural work because they share so much in common most of the sculptural pieces have at least a small practical use even if its only holding a few flowers and most of the functional work is very attractive simple in design and having rich earthy colors pitchers mugs casseroles and other kitchenware items have a sort of builtin appeal a series of flower baskets which hang on rawhide thongs are very popular many of the pieces are glazed and mrs east makes up her own glazes she is a student of classical chinese pottery which she considers basic background for potters among her possessions is a 900- yearold chinese tea dish its interest lies not merely in its age or perfection it is a flawed piece which suffered an accident in the kiln but in the fact that western potters have only been able to produce similar pieces in the last 100 years the chinese were 800 years ahead of us observes mrs east her apprentice david baker has been making pottery for a year and expects to take another 5 years before he will be considered good to the untrained eye he looks pretty good right now starting with nothing but a round lump of clay he places it on a wheel and eventually turns out a vase the darkbrown material moves and flows under his fingers rising and falling and taking on patterns he explains that throwing the process of bringing up a piece of clay is one of the most difficult things to learn badly- thrown pottery is unbalanced and has a poor feel people know good work when they see it he said i dont like to sell anything unless i think its good he talks as he works the wheel hums smoothly and the lump of clay takes on shape and texture tools used in pottery are very simple david maintains that the powered wheel which he uses is the only significant advance in centuries strong fingers are the main implements for shaping the clay occasionally a small sponge or stick is used for defining an edge or cutting away excess material after a few minutes almost magically theres a finished vase sitting on the wheel it now has to be dried and fired it looks very attractive but david shrugs im not very good yet he says its a long learning process but theres a great deal of satisfaction in learning to do a dif ficult thing and doing it well david finds his work very satisfying its very soothing if you get away from it for a while you start to miss it it looks soothing all right the clay turns and the fingers smooth it shape it theres some of the mud-pie- making child in all of us markham
