British potters Hannah McAndrew and Doug Fitch bring their 21st century take on traditionally decorated slipware pottery to Shelby, NC on April 23, 2011

The two potters are well known in the United Kingdom and have become familiar to U.S. potters through their Internet blogs. Both were part of "Clay and Blogs: Telling a Story," an international exhibition of potters' work last fall in Southern Pines, N.C. McAndrew lives in southern Scotland and Fitch in Devon, England.

McAndrew and Fitch work with earthenware clay, making functional pots that are decorated with liquid slip in patterns, manipulated surfaces, or images and words. The style dates back centuries, but each potter has brought his or her own contemporary touch to the work. Doug fires his locally dug earthenware in a wood kiln. Hannah makes a wide range of work that is fired in an electric kiln.
