    quotes

     

    "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." 
    William Morris

     

    ".... And we will mature, and some element will become visible in our work that comes from our innermost experience in life, something that no techniques, nor any amount of historical training or courses in 'design' could ever foster, something that is our own, and unique. For if a thing is conceived in the depths of our being, we will find a way to express it: it may be crude and unskillful, but it will be honest and intelligible." 
    Marguerite Wildenhain

     

    "The link between the hands of the maker and the hands of the user seems increasingly important to me in this world where we are often distanced from the sources of the things we rely on to sustain us."
    Charity Davis-Woodard

     

    "Vocation: . . .where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
    Frederick Buechner

     

    "Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect."
    Anon 

     

    renegade potters;
    the celebration we share;
    local potters all.

    leftovers and whatnot from whynot.....

    We had a huge party Saturday night, Slate's 18th. birthday. Yee Haw! Dogs and burgers on the grill, lots of covered dishes, and even some ribs from the folks at Whatnot. Friends and family showed up from Wilmington to Shelby. We've been chowing down on leftovers ever since, including some ribs I hid away. Our friend Ron slid in, and brought a gift for me too, this way cool salsa bowl. I didn't have much time to take pics, but will post more when they come my way from other folks.
