Is Brian Holland related to the Fishley Holland Pottery in Devon and Somerset (Clevedon)? I worked for the Pottery in Clevedon. They had a long lineage of potters in the family.

Noce firing. Hope to have a wood kiln one day but will have to settle with gas for now. The bowl turned out nice.

Great to see the whole process put together, I'm so glad I decided to visit, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, some beautiful pieces came out, looking forward to the next firing.

Thanks
