Jim Behan - Dolmen Pottery, Carlow, Ireland.
Sincere thank you to all who visited and bought my work in the Form Carlow show at the Fairgreen Shopping Centre over the Christmas . It is greatly appreciated and reassuring. I am already back in my studio and formulating plans for the coming year.
My first firing of Oribe inspired pots was well received so I aim to progress this work in high firing stoneware. I will continue to make Slipware and also some high fire forms inspired by Tea.

My story
I made my first pot in 1970. It was made with coils and instruction from a book. It fell apart as it dried. Since that time I have been trying to improve my technique.
