I love pottery. To think that people dig clay out of the ground, manipulate it and decorate it, and make something functional and beautiful just boggles the mind.
We went to a local exhibit of pottery this week. An annual exhibit and sale, Fired Works features the work of 150 artists and is always a treat.
We dont need any pottery; our collection is certainly adequate but we love to go to this event every year, so off we went. And, yes, we did buy some.
Most of our collection is of the Southern folk art genre, but the whimsical pieces delight me, too.
As we examined the beautiful pots on display in this beautiful facility, I was constantly seeing images that related to quilt making. The captions on each photo explain some of my thinking.
I've stitched my way through life. Early skills in utilitarian and decorative sewing have merged with art in the world of quiltmaking. My love of journaling has now crossed into the cloth world, too. I love old songs, old souls, old words; my collections attest to my fascination with memories.

Sandy, Thank you so very much for sharing these photos of the pottery show! I would never have seen this amazing art if not for your sharing it here. Some years I get to go to Watkinsville to an art show there which usually includes imaginative pottery piece, but it’s been a while!

My pleasure! We need to put the Watkinsville show on our calendar this year.
