One of my most favorite pots in the whole wide world is a Ken Ferguson
pot. Can you guess which one the wirerabbit likes?
It's one of his pots with a leaping hair for a handle. It's pictured
in one of the standard clay texts. I think that bit of modeling is
masterful. I'm sorry to have never met the man who made that pot.

"The best thing you can do is dig a deep well, because deep wells don't
dry out in the hot summer. They still have water in them and the shallow
ones dry out. So you've got to dig a deep well. If you do that you can

Taylor: I think i have this quote right. I got it from John Neely
Some one asked Ferguson how many holes he put in a teapot. he said ya
always put 3 because the other two alway fill up with glaze anyways.
