Which Pots is a picture book about a young girl, Abigail, whose plant from school isn't growing any more and so visits a pottery studio in the deep dark woods with her father to get a new pot.
The old potter woman who works there (definitely not a witch) shows Abigail how to make a perfect coil pot. But despite her various attempts, Abigail fails miserably.
Seeing the defeated Abigail, the witch...err, I mean, the potter makes her studio come magically to life to show Abigail how errors and hand markings in a piece of clay can reveal the motions & actions of the artist who made it.
Mistakes become memories, as Abigail explores the studio and learns to 'see' each pot for the story hidden along its surface. What stories will she uncover? You have to read to find out!
Which Pots will be coming out in Fall 2024. Until then, you can watch the book develop at www.antlawler.com or on my socials @antlawler (Youtube, Instagram, Twitter/X, Behance)
