Of course, I gladly made the pot, which I then passed on to Phil's wife Heather, to decorate - Heather is an extremely talented artist.
This evening, Hil, Heather and I popped up to the workshop and took the finished piece out of my small electric kiln. It had worked a treat.
Heather's going to get a local wood tuner to turn a trophy style plinth to stand it on.
The Andrew Pottle Memorial Cup.
I hope it is enjoyed by Andrew Pottle's family and friends and that it will see many seasons pass at Cheriton Fitzpaine Cricket Club.
As I mentioned at the start of this post, Heather is a very talented artist. This is a painting she did of her dog, Poppy.
Here's Filthy Phil himself, back in his hairier days.
Heather includes a lot of my pots in her still life paintings
I recommend you click the link to see Heather Cutler's site with lots more of her lovely work.
I remember you mentioning Heather's work her before, and I believe you have a painting of her's in your house right? I do like her work. Very nice memorial cup, you both did a proper job. Well done.
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to Doug and Heather for producing such a fantastic piece for us. The trophy is our "Player of the Year" award, a lasting tribute to a school mate and the talent of two local artists
ReplyDeleteCharle, it's a pleasure. It's an honour to be asked to make something as important as that, I hope it lasts a long, long time, very best wishes
