Hi Lois,
Funny: I was there as well and signed the guestbook almost (skip one) below you. Had I only known that you were there!
It WAS a wonderful exhibit. Style, texture, suggested or obvious use, glazes, design - all wonderful. I enjoyed Tom's pieces immensely and was quite envious of the person who bought the blue container. Jackie Miller had a darling porcelain bowl in it as well. I actually saw her make it at Alfred last summer. So dainty.
In spite of all the rain I am glad I drove down there. The variety chosen (and with that great respect for the juror(s) was marvelous. One learns so much just by looking. And touching. Hmm-I do still get into a bit of trouble over that from time to time...
Hope to see you around for another show - come and visit.
Stay "in touch", in other words. A great piece of advice to potters!
Marianne

Glad to hear the opening/demos went well. Proud to have a pot in for the
first time this year. (Gotta blow your own horn once in awhile :-). Would
have loved to meet Tom, but couldn't make it down. Happy to see good reviews
on Clayart.
