The Great Pottery Escapade: First Stop London

First stop on our artisan scouting trip was London, and what a colorful and cosmopolitan way to launch the artisan adventure!

While not expected, our hotel (the gracious and history-packed St. Ermin) had a surprise display of fun and beautiful pottery the hotel owner had acquired at various times and places throughout London.
