So you think I have an obsession with brown. When I was a younger gaffer i
was on the board of the Ontario Potters Assoc along with Ron Roy. Ron was
in his one year sabbatical, were he worked on one glaze- Ole Black Magic
Temmoku. I guess this makes him the first Mr. Mojo.
Ron wore only brown shirts, pants, shoes etc. At one meeting he snatched
my blue ink pen out my hands and replaced it with one that had black ink..
said the blue ink hurt his eyes and then also went on to ask me if at future
meetings I would not wear shirts so colourful. Everyone in the clay
community laughed about Ron and his brown obsession. then at a conference a
fellow potter, Wayne Cardinalli roomed with Ron. Wayne came running out of
the room in the morning screaming at the top of his lungs "HE EVEN WEARS
BROWN UNDERWEAR".
No, Wayne insisted they weren't inside out, they are the colour brown.
Excess is never enough!
Cheers,
Tony
