Pots by 'SJW' - seeking full name

Post by RuthMcL »

I have a souvenir pot (brown, triangular) from the 1984 AABC convention featuring Peter Adams. The potter's initials are SJW. Does anyone know who this is? I have recently seen other pots from the 1980s with these initials.

Not sure about the SJW but Stevens links seemed to have confirmed where my pot come from that I asked about a while back with Clay Express Australia stamped with ink and initials set in clay off B.E.F.

I have found part of the answer to this mystery.The booklet for the 1984 convention thanks 'Wright's Ceramics for the special convention pot'. Does anyone know anything about Wright's ceramics?
