    "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.

    jars.....

    DateTuesday, July 27, 2010 at 11:00AM

    Back in the late '70's and throughout the '80's I made lots of jars -- honey pots, spaghetti jars, sugar bowls, jewelry jars, spice jars and cookie jars, etc. I guess I got burned out on lidded pots, 'cause I haven't made very many since then, until recently that is. My latest two firings included quite a few little jars, which I've discovered work well as salt cellars and garlic roasters too. I still have a few left in the shop, and hope to make more between now and the Celebration of Seagrove Potters in November.
    Little jars are kinda like bowls -- can you ever have too many?
