Hi Mel!

Funny you should mention 100! Today at a workshop with Toshiko Takaezu
she mentioned that it was the first thing assigned to her new apprentice.
Make 100 mugs (the same) but each with a different handle! He raised
his eyebrows and smiled as she recalled his first assignment. What a
wonderful workshop. A soft spoken and very giving person with a great
sense of humor! Everyone oh'd and ah'd as she lit newspaper in the
bottom of a large form she was throwing. What a wonderful sight to see
her through the flames and blowing ash!!!! Thank goodness the fire
alarms didn't go off!!! I could just see the headlines now: Famous
potter burns down RVCC art building!

And Mark, if you're reading this, she asked me to forward your current
address to her! Will do so tomorrow.

Have a great clay day!!
