Henry Sandon’s love of ceramics even took him to work on the potter’s wheel. Fairly early in his profession he was tutored by my father, the potter Geoffrey Whiting, a formative expertise he later recounted in a 2009 episode of the BBC’s Priceless Antiques Roadshow: “I used to be by no means excellent, however what it did do was to show me to understand an excellent pot … I’ve realized extra from watching him making a pot than something in any respect.” Henry went on to turn into an awesome champion of recent studio ceramics, accumulating it avidly alongside historic items.
