Penny West The first thing Penny did when walking in to visit John in his pottery was to pick up a pot to admire it, not realising that it was a delicate piece of unfired work. To her great embarrassment it disintegrated into hundreds of pieces on the floor. She has long since been forgiven and has transferred her many years of experience of teaching and training in crafts, working particularly with adolescents with learning difficulties to the pottery, where as well as making her own work, much of her time is spent teaching the varied groups of people who spend their afternoons in the pottery.
