Pottery in the Caribbean

During our trip to St Ann’s Bay, Jamaica in 2018 we had the great fortune to meet the potter Dalbert Lindo. He has a studio with a group of potters on the main route east of Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

Vase made at the studio in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Thrown by D. Lindo; surface decoration by R. Smith. Notice the hummingbird, the Jamaican National Bird.
