For those seeking to develop both their ceramic skills and aesthetic understanding, Richard Carter Studio is a kind of Nirvana. It is nestled in the hills of Napa Valley, at times bright and sunny, at others swathed in mysterious mist. This private valley has kind of magic to it. Richard Carter continues the traditions of Ken Ferguson's commitment to individuality and competence. A man of exceptional empathy, he provides support without structure. If I were a ceramicist wanting to grow and work, I would high-tail it to this community of artists.
