A Potter Should Live Their Life Generously
Recently on Facebook I saw a post directed to me from one of

felt.
Jess was an amazing student and although you will look at
her work and wonder how I could be even a part of it, I overflow with pride
that I am part of her Ceramic Education. http://jessrivacooper.com/index.html

give pots away to people he liked. I share his love. I get more pleasure out of
giving things away than selling them. I guess that is why I will pass with many
friends and little money.
We came home today with a treasure trove of plants from a
neighbor at Pinecroft. Hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of plants for
free. Sheila is planning payback. It is not expected but my wife
