The gap between the incomes of the greatest and the least in pottery,
overall, sounds like pocket change when comparing the incomes of TV and
movie performers and professional athletes with even the most highly trained
professionals in most other fields in our country. Wonder what this
discussion would say to non-artists about the value that _we_ place on
pottery when there seems to be a degree of resentment over what is far from
an exorbitant income of even the 'old masters' in our field. Our perspective
seems a bit askew.
