Question of Week | April 22, 2012
Did you start with pottery (ceramics) by accident or by design?
How we each “found” clay can likely be an interesting series of stories I bet. I’m guessing there are many convoluted paths leading to each of our kilns. For myself…… I started out life as a marine zoology major in college. But more on that later…….. how about you? Was it is cosmic plan…. or serendipity?
Developing Your Narrative

Participants are invited to contribute to the narrative of this piece using elements of their own histories, desires or foibles through including their own imagery, text or personal symbology.
