Withy pot making

Penzance provides an eclectic mix of entertainment of you know where to look, more recently the area has been further enhanced by the arrival of a new community radio station launched over the internet......
ever since the marina berths were installed, Newlyn has proved a popular first stop for those yachts coming from the land of the Liffey water.....
waiting for a break in the weather - no chance over the weekend with gales forecast......
heading back from a soaking; Dick Ede's apprentice withy potmaker Nick Henshall has just retrieved a new pot from the harbour, the pots are soaked for a few days to help set their shape.....
additional staves are hammered into place to fill any gaps......
that fail the 'two-fingers' maximum test.
