Pottery can infuse artful practice and a direct relationship to the producer of everyday objects. It is the potter?s responsibility to continue to push form and surface to make the best pots possible. Well crafted handmade objects support the argument for locality and autonomy, which give the greater value in a contemporary context rooted in ambiguous commodity consumption. It is our responsibility to craft the things we consume.
