Over 50,000
jokes and 5 decades in the business. I’m 4 decades in the pottery business and
probably have well over 40,000 pots made some of which may even be worth

This coming
Monday I’m going to see a show I’m in at The Art Gallery of Burlington entitled
Serendipity- When Life Gives You Lemons.
I am

change equals the art we are currently making.
I am also a
guest presenter Monday night at The Carnegie Gallery for the Hamilton Potter’s
Guild. The title of the Power Point “Putting the Hammer Down”. Ya have to come
to understand the title.
