Harwin: Michael, the academic, has earned several university degrees preparing him for his first career as a teacher. Now retired, the artistic Michael has long been searching for creative self expression using media. Until recently his endeavours have been short lived. Papermaking, photography, painting, while satisfying a creative urge, have not been the perfect answer to this expressive need. Pottery has filled that place, deep within, allowing for creativity with purpose. Dubbing himself, "the accidental potter", Michael strives to end each pottery session with a creative vessel or clay piece. The gratification of completing a project or creating a treasure keeps his spirits lifted and powers his enthusiasm for the craft. Michael, aka "Harwin", experiments with glazes, combinations of clay types, and textures, to round out his creations. His unique pieces and brilliant glazes have pleased many a pottery enthusiast.
