Brandon Phillips

These two fine pots arrived in the post a few days ago and we are enjoying them immensely. Brandon and I worked out a trade (I have yet to uphold my end of that, but soon will). Brandon lives and makes pots in Abilene, TX.

I love the quiet nature of these pots. They are strongly made and confident. The dusting of ash on both of these pots is really wonderful.

I have been thinking that I may rebuild my salt kiln sometime in the future and fire it with wood instead of gas. I know in the past I said I didn't think I could bother with all that labor, but really it's not that much, and the pots are so rich. So we'll see I guess.

Thanks Brandon!
