I was at the British Museum yesterday - along with hundreds of tourists sheltering from the horrible rainy weather - and enjoyed looking at the Jomon pots.
This is what the Japanese were making when we were making Stonehenge.
What I hadn't realised is that they used them for cooking in. They had a photograph of some fire pits which the base of the pot was put in to.
I don't know what they actually cooked in them, but I like the idea of such ornate and exciting pots being used for cooking. Quite an inspiration for the next making cycle!
Back to the studio tomorrow...
