what motivates me to work?

Longtin, Jeff on fri 12 jul 02


I want to blow people's minds. Totally challenge their preconceptions about
what pots SHOULD be and replace it with examples of what pots CAN be. That's
what motives me.
I also want to make the world a better place.

Maybe its a high price to expect from a pot but what the hell. Life is
short.

Call me a fool but I think pots can change the world and that we, as
potters, have a responsibility to make our pots THAT good. By good I don't
mean same old same old. Rather, by good I mean pots that excite people, pots
that show people there ARE other possibilities in this world and that with a
little hard work they TOO can create them.

Maybe I ask too much?
