<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 228412, member: 2844&quot;]Very interesting Taupou. Being Dutch I had no idea there was such a thing as American raku. The potters who used Raku and Raku-inspired techniques overhere were mostly trained by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada in St. Ives, England. Leach and Hamada started in the 1920s and influenced several generations of Western European potters, many of whom studied in Japan as well. Although the Leach potteries are not generally known for a Raku-inspired style, I have met several Dutch potters who learnt the technique from Bernard Leach.</p><p>By the way, where does Abdel live? Maybe he lives in a part of the world that has known the same kind of influence, and we can expand our knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
