Hello everyone! Whilst I was at home over reading week I sat down with my mum and sister to watch this documentary on Edmund de Waal. Both my mum and sister had read his recently renowned book 'Hare With The Amber Eyes', which I hope to finish once university reading comes to a close! Whether you have read the book or not, it is a great documentary about such an interesting man. I really enjoyed learning how his academic research informed his artistic practice. It was a very inspiring watch, which I thought might be ideal as a cold weekend viewing! So, here it is...

BBC introduction:
"Edmund de Waal is the bestselling author of the Hare With The Amber Eyes, a family memoir that captured the hearts of millions. But he isn't just a writer; from the age of five he has been making thousands and thousands of pots. After 45 years, he is exhibiting his work for the first time in America and researching his next book, a globe-spanning journey through porcelain. imagine... follows Edmund over a remarkable year"
Edmund de Waal's terrific book 'The Hare with Amber Eyes' captured my imagination a couple of years ago and I shall re-read as soon as my level 3 work is over. I just know that I will have missed a lot of it first time around. Thanks for the post, Rosa. It was important to find out what de Wall did in his 'Day job'. Phil.
