My head is full of information, images and ideas... What a treat to watch people who so intimately know how to work with clay. While in everyday life, the label potter might not garner much understanding, for a few short days I was with people who work with clay everyday and still come to learn something new from the interaction. Spending time with potters is not the norm for me, a solo clay artist in a town with a very sleepy clay community. Spending this time with people who share my need to work with clay gave me a fresh perspective, fostering a reawakening of the passion I have for clay.
This is my newly acquired Mark Shapiro tea bowl. The plate above was made by North Carolina potter, Michael Kline. The sculptures are made by one of the artist-in-residence at Arrowmont-it's life size and entirely made from clay, even the lace.
