Tom, my dear Tom who has had a very successful career as doctor and lawyer
and lives on a golf course next to Arnold Palmer. do you like purple glazes
on your pottery????? If you don't, I'd tell this gallery owner to pee up a
rope.
He doesn't want your pots ,he wants something that matches the wallpaper.
You are 70, you love making pots, you don't need the money, so make the ones
you want to make, love to make and if the gallery owner loves what you make
then I call that a win, win.
Don't compromise your pots with a 6 week whirlwind testathon. A lifes worth
of integrity can be lost in a heartbeat.
good to see you oldsters givin' er!
I'm aching now where i used to play.
cheers,
Tony
