Salad bowls and Vases. Is it winter? Lamps and Casseroles and quality is just as important these days, unlike the 60's when a blob could sell you must keep it fairly tight.Alan from Argyll Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264702626939779118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070171807625943329.post-48410851722878912032008-07-11T13:55:00.000+01:002008-07-11T13:55:00.000+01:00It's not about the money, I don't care a hoot for ...It's not about the money, I don't care a hoot for the money Matt.

You have already made loads of steps towards what you want and although lots of money is nice isn't it what feels right more than anything. Your time for clay is limited right now by a job, go with your heart pots made by passionate potters show that, look at Doug, Ron, Hannah. Their pots scream passion and from what I can see the public see that in them. Hey, you are going to do it because it's plain for all to see you are very passionate about it! Don't lose heart, get some red mud out, you know it's right!Matt Grimmitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885878031802377116noreply@blogger.com
