I have loved reading all the responses. Not looking for credit,
but I started the thread by reporting a ride with three people who have
no real interest in art and asked me that question. Or said "how
DID you know you are-----?"
They were not already started in any art or a craft. They seemed
to wonder why I chose to even go to art school and why I wanted
to go there, thus beginning my lifelong career.
I didn't answer well. I wish I had thought of all
the great responses that are coming onto the list. I know that
there are decades behind me, teaching, art fairs, seeing
potters in England and photographing and writing about them for
C.M. It has been an accumulation of very hard work, which I am
at again, and contact with others such as at NCECA and by email,
gallery disappointments and shows and excitement and happiness
that is probably keeping me vital as I age. I like best Elca's statement
which resonates with my bones: I might run out of time before
I run out of creativity. I add to that run out of ideas. Or are ideas
just a facet of creativity?
I find all your responses wonderful.

I know Bacia is talented!
I look in awe at her work I wonder how she
achieved the effects.
I wonder about her life and how
she and her work evolved.
I always stop at her pieces and
spend considerable time studying at her work.
That she shares her knowledge is the greatest gift I could receive.
I revere her postings whether they be clay related or OT.
I consider her a Clayart National treasure.
We are very lucky to have many such people on Clayart
to name a few Bacia, Mel, Lili, Elca, John, Ron, Dannon, Ivor,
Vince, Tony, Lee, Bonnie, David, Russell, Edouard and on and on....
our "talent" cup runneth over!
I came into clay so late in life and having Clayart made my learning curve
soar.
Thank you all........
