Talking Pots | Svend Bayer | Pitchers or Jugs

Svend Bayer talks about the most important shape he makes, the pitcher or jug. Heavily influenced by Michael Cardew’s North Devonshire pitchers, Bayer talks about the necessity for the shape of the handle to follow that which the hand makes when it picks up a pitcher. He also talks briefly about celadon glaze and wood firing.
