piggy banks hit the road


'To market to market, to buy a new pig, to market to market....'
I am not really a production potter, or a one of a kind artist potter either. Something in between. A production potter makes large numbers of identical pieces. I can do that.
Drove off in glorous winter weather to Massachusetts Tuesday to deliver piggy banks, and other things, to Sheffield Pottery. As mentioned here last month, they have a huge gallery which sells my work, but they also make and sell all supplies, such as clay. I go over with boxes of piggies, bowls, mugs, and come home with hundreds of pounds of ready mixed white stoneware clay. A nice circle, except for the massive and seemingly unneccessary traffic jam in Albany.
