You're not the boss of me!
I guess I have lived my life believing " nobody is the boss of me." I've made pots my way and the lucky f32-ker that I am I have had some long time supporters that have encouraged me to do just that. Don't think of me of a courageous maker of one offs. I make production work that is easy to make and easy to like.
Lisa Charlton and her husband have been amazing collectors of the work I wish I could always make. I sold Lisa a pot when she was 13 and made Lisa and Paul their wedding dinner ware 28 years ago. It was a 12 piece setting wood fired. I have never made another wood fired dinner ware set.
I learned over 30 years ago when at Wobage Farm in Wales with Mick and Sheila Casson that a potter needs to make "some and some!' Some for the market place and some for you. I have never forgotten to make for me. That ain't guts, it's love of the craft. If I wanted to do the same every day I'd have worked at the Ford plant. Hey wait a minute that wouldn't work. I have always believed " you're not the boss of me!"
Lisa and Paul have a house full of me. Paul thinks the foundation is shifting under the weight of all my pots. I really must get myself invited for dinner.
Thank you all for coming to my sale today. I have a couple of wild women coming over tonight for a beer. Christine "Woodstock" Torres and Cathy "Purple Hair"are due any time. It should be a great laugh. I am one lucky f32-ker to belong to the fine craft society. I will have to kick them out as I'm on shift tomorrow morning at the firing of Queen Anne. It is pissing rain.
