I met Danlami at Michael Cardew's in 1977 and he tried to teach me some Hausa as I was planning to go to Nigeria. He was full of fun but a dedicated potter. It clearly warmed Michael's heart that he was around. I met him again when he was studying at Farnham (and friends with Magdalene Odundo's sister, who was studying textiles). Over the years I have followed his progress via Michael O'Brien, Kofi Attey, Suzi Mutter and others, so it has come as a great shock to hear of his death. We were about the same age and he had left me with fond memories of him. His wives and 'regiment' must truly be feeling the loss. My heartfelt condolences go out to them. RIP Danlami. The world was a better world for having you here.

I'd love to see some of his work. You hear a lot about Ladi Kwali but if you don't have your ear to the ground, you don't hear about much else.

What a loss.
