I love being in a gallery or museum show so that people can see my pots. But display like that amounts to the theory of claywork and a pot in use in someone's home is its practice. I say this because when we got to the home of our friends Trudi and Brad Hennemuth in Lincolnville, Me., last week, there was one of my simple cylindrical vases in a window, loaded with lovely orange flowers. (Sorry, someone's going to have to tell me what kind they are ... ) I love to see pots being used.

there is nothing better than to see a pot in use.
PS- as I was eating my tomato sandwich yesterday I thought of you.
Red, ripe, off the vine goodness...
BUT! congrats on being chosen your tea bowls are sweet works of art.
Congrats on the show, I'll shoot some photos of your tea bowls in use here one day, the three of them are back together as Wesley has brought hers home from school for the summer! Congrats of the show, of course you were jurored in!
I agree, pots just look so different when they're actually 'at home'!
Thanks, guys. I've got teabowls out for another show, too. I should probably enter things other than teabowls ...
And Meredith, the first local hothouse tomatoes are now on sale at Bogside Farm in Pocasset. I traded some freshly-dug clams for a half-dozen the other day. No doubt those Carolina ones are better, but Cathy raises some great tomatoes, which come to market many weeks before these things in my backyard.
