I had a chance to visit one of the finest potters in the area, possibly the world yesterday. Dick Lehman is having a pottery sale this weekend. Here’s what I came away with:
Dick Lehman Cup
I drove over to his place yesterday around mid-day. I arrived just as it started raining, of course. They had some extra umbrellas available but I would have stood in the rain. There was another couple there when I arrived but after they left it was just Mr. Lehman and I. And it was fantastic. He explained how he made almost every piece that I looked at. He answered my questions. He showed me one of his photo books. He even offered to contact me for the next wood firing to see if I would help. And the whole time he had the excitement of a guy just pulling his first fantastic pot out of the kiln.
