Studio Potter has just posted the sad news of the passing of potter and instructor Tom Rohr. Please visit their website for more information. My thoughts and condolences with the family. I met Tom once years ago quite early in my learning of ceramics and was quite taken with the beauty of his work and the knowledge he so generously shared. I have a beautiful cup of his I cherish and am drinking my morning tea from today.
