If I wasn't a potter I think I'd be a basket maker. Just received an order of cane and reed and made a few handles. The first two are smoked reed and the third is a combination of smoked reed and reed that I dyed with walnut husks and tea bags. I think pots look great in the company of baskets. I love the textural contrast with the harder, smoother clay. And the darker handles bring out the richness of the ash glaze so well.
