These issues capture a period of experimentation and growth, preserving the magazine's evolution from a practical art publication into the thoughtful creative companion it has become today.

Created and published independently by Welsh artist Alison Fennell, The Pottering Artist celebrates attentive making, personal observation and the pleasures of a slower creative life. Readers often enjoy collecting the archive and tracing the development of both the publication and its ideas over time.

Whether you are discovering the magazine for the first time or completing your collection, The Early Years Collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the foundations of a unique independent art publication.

With The Pottering Artist enjoy...above all...a place to find solace and work with your hands, pencils and brushes...
