Croissants, lobster tails and food for thought
Sometimes with this blog I look and don't see anyone out there and I wonder if I write this just for myself. Which in itself would not be a bad thing as I find writing it down makes me think about it. It was so nice to receive your comments on the blog and off. Some called the handles croissants and others saw lobster tails. Off list I got some really good food for thought from some young potters that are wondering about the current trend towards "narrative" in pots and wondering how to keep it fresh and stay alive making good functional pots. On the same day I got a note from a professor doing a research paper entitled "Where have all the potters gone?". I tried to answer in an email but thought holy shit this is going to be a book.
I am thrilled that some of you take the time to look and read this blog. I think a great deal about pots and have probably been harder on me than anyone. Here is a pic of a plate by Phil Yordy of Conestoga River Pottery. Phil is a potter of 3 or 4 decades that is taking my course at Pinecroft. The thought of teaching good people keeps me on my tip toes which makes me almost 5'10".

Ps: I do read your blog regularly, just don't always comment:)
Shaking the comment-bush over here in NC, boss!
I write because it helps sort out the thoughts of someone who, like a lot of us, works in solitary. Although I don't comment as often as I should, I read the blogs when I can. It keeps me connected.
Thanks for writing.
P.S. It's warmer than Ohio here in NC. just saying.
Don't fret, you may be "singing in the shower", but it sounds goooood.
cheers, linda
There are those that want to and those that HAVE to make pots. It summed up for me so much.
