learning to work with ceramics and pottery has long been on my to-do list (along with 100 other ‘do before i die’ crafts).  i even have a lonesome kiln just sitting in my pottery shed (currently turned random-garden-tools shed).  someday when i when i pass a clay supplier, i’ll decide it was fate that brought me there, gather lots of supplies and see what i can do with it.  and when i do, i think jill rosenwald’s style is exactly what my mission would be.  what a modern, breath of fresh air style she brings to pottery!  the colors soothe the soul and i’d be one happy camper eating off one of her plates, sipping tea out that beautiful mug..
