Review of Work Shop

For the Love of Clay 
You could be forgiven for expecting elves or gnomes to be at the pottery wheel of this adorable little cottage-in-the-wood shop near Victoria Park. But the craftsman potter is Caroline Bousfield, and she's rather tall. And speckled with clay. The place is enchanting; she is very personable; and the pieces of useable art such as mugs and plates and beautiful little pitchers are one-off treasures that make wonderful gifts. I went in for an "I Love Hackney" mug, one of her specialty items. She has a wide selection of museum quality greeting cards, as well, and some fun old-fashioned toys. If you're in the park flying your kite on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, be sure to pop in. You are bound to find a sweet gift and you can see the artist in action. It's a joy to feel as if she's handing you a piece of work right from the kiln.
