Kevin Crow: In our increasingly hi-tech world, there is less and less
room for items made by hand. Mass production wiped out most cobblers,
coopers or potters. Yet some artisans, like Virginia potter Kevin Crow,
have managed to revive an old trade by going to the very origins of the
trade's technology. What they produce is art, and people want something
with a personal touch.
Waynesboro, Pa: It's not often that a beginner can receive instruction
in a craft from someone who has been working at it for 70 years.
Seagrove: Seagrove is the center of an area that is home to dozens of
potters - the exact number depends on which brochure you pick up - and a
place considered to have the highest concentration of potters in the
world outside of Japan.
