Frank and Janet Hamer have been making, teaching and writing about ceramics for over 60 years. Their joint knowledge, experience and energy are evident in all areas of their work and ceramics practice. They have jointly authored books and articles, shared studios and fired kilns, four of which they designed and built together.

They have taught hundreds of students and helped to found a pottery society that is now 50 years old. They have produced and sold thousands of pots and ceramic sculptures. Janet sadly died in 2014, and Frank has completed work on the new edition of The Potter's Dictionary.
